Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

374
DialyzersA hemodialysis (HD) dialyzer is a plastic cartridge containing thousands of parallel hollow fibers, which serve as semipermeable membranes. These fibers are typically made from cellulose-based or other synthetic materials. During HD, blood is pumped into the top of the cartridge and distributed among these fibers. Simultaneously, dialysis fluid, known as dialysate, is introduced into the bottom of the cartridge, bathing the outside of the fibers. Across the semipermeable membrane,...

Dialysis

Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood effectively. It can be classified into two types: acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF).
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

Dialysis

1.3K
Dialysis is a diffusion-based purification process that separates analyte molecules from a complex matrix. This is accomplished by allowing molecules in the solution to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a liquid on the other side. The membrane is usually made of cellulose acetate or cellulose nitrate, and the second liquid must be miscible with the solution. Ions (e.g., chloride or sodium) or organic molecules (e.g., glucose) can pass through the membrane pores, which generally have...

Hemodialysis III: Nursing Management

498
The nursing management of a patient undergoing hemodialysis includes several critical steps, starting with a thorough assessment before the procedure.Before the Hemodialysis ProcedureFirst, record the patient's vital signs—blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature—to establish a baseline. This baseline is essential for detecting conditions such as hypotension that could impact the patient's response to dialysis. Document the patient's pre-dialysis weight, as this...

Peritoneal Dialysis II: Peritoneal Dialysis Systems and Complications

257
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a medical process that removes waste products and excess fluid from the body using the peritoneal membrane as a natural filter.Peritoneal Dialysis MethodsSeveral methods can be used for peritoneal dialysis, including Acute Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis, Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis, and Automated Peritoneal Dialysis, also known as Continuous Cyclic Peritoneal Dialysis.Acute Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (AIPD) is used for patients with uremic...

Drug Dosing in Renal Diseases: Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Serum Creatinine Concentration01:28

Drug Dosing in Renal Diseases: Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate Based on Serum Creatinine Concentration

88
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) can be estimated from serum creatinine using the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) formula or the chronic kidney disease–epidemiology collaboration (CKD–EPI) equation. Both methods are widely used in clinical practice to assess kidney function and guide treatment decisions.The MDRD equation does not require weight or height measurements and is normalized to the body surface area of 1.73 m², considered the average adult surface area.

Summary

Patients on chronic hemodialysis face significantly higher postoperative mortality risks. Key factors increasing this risk include older age, male gender, and specific comorbidities like intracranial hemorrhage, which poses the greatest danger.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Anesthesiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Chronic hemodialysis is associated with increased postoperative mortality.
  • Limited research exists on specific contributing factors to this elevated risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the factors influencing 30-day postoperative mortality in patients undergoing surgery while on chronic hemodialysis.
  • To compare mortality risks between dialysis and non-dialysis patient cohorts.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study utilizing Taiwan's National Health Insurance Registry Database (2007-2009).
  • Included 9,140 dialysis patients and 45,725 non-dialysis patients.
  • Analyzed demographics, comorbidities, and anesthesia duration to assess 30-day postoperative mortality.

Main Results:

  • Dialysis patients were older, more male, and had more comorbidities.
  • Dialysis patients exhibited significantly higher all-cause postoperative mortality (OR, 15.005).
  • Independent risk factors for mortality in dialysis patients included older age, longer inhalation anesthesia, and specific comorbidities, with intracranial hemorrhage posing the highest risk.

Conclusions:

  • Demographics, anesthesia factors, and comorbidities are crucial for understanding and managing postoperative mortality in dialysis patients.
  • Identifying these risk factors aids anesthesiologists and surgeons in optimizing perioperative care for dialysis patients.
