Dialysis01:27

Dialysis

1.2K
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

1.6K
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

758
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...

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...

Hemodialysis II: Procedure and Complications

654
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,...

Peritoneal Dialysis III: Nursing Management

685
Peritoneal dialysis, or PD, utilizes the peritoneal membrane as a filter to eliminate excess fluid and waste products. Effective nursing management is essential for ensuring patient safety, preventing complications, and promoting optimal function of the peritoneal dialysis process.Assessment and MonitoringNurses must thoroughly assess the patient before, during, and after each dialysis session. Regular monitoring includes vital signs, daily weight, fluid intake and output, and laboratory values...

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Oncology
  • Transplantation

Background:

  • Malignancy incidence is higher in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.
  • Cancer is a leading cause of death in ESKD due to impaired immune surveillance.
  • Malignancy complicates kidney transplantation evaluations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of cancer in hemodialysis patients.
  • To analyze cancer prevalence in relation to kidney transplant waiting lists.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 5879 prevalent hemodialysis patients.
  • Assessment of demographic data, comorbidities (including malignancy), and waitlisting status.
  • Comparison of characteristics between waitlisted and non-waitlisted patients with malignancy.

Main Results:

  • 13% of hemodialysis patients had malignancy; 6% had metastatic disease.
  • Malignant patients were older, more likely male, and had higher comorbidity scores.
  • Only 3.8% of cancer patients were actively waitlisted; they were younger and healthier than non-listed counterparts.

Conclusions:

  • Standardized cancer screening protocols are recommended for dialysis units, particularly for the elderly.
  • Tailored cancer screening and multidisciplinary evaluation are vital for kidney transplant recipients.
  • Cardiovascular status, alongside malignancy history, is critical for transplantation eligibility.
