Ultrafiltration (UF): Fluid pushed through the semipermeable membrane (SPM) membrane
Convection: Solutes dragged across SPM along with fluid
Hyperkalemia: > 6.5 mEq Symptoms: extreme muscle weakness, abnormal heart rhythm, and
possible cardiac arrest
Hypokalemia: < 3.5 mEq Symptoms: fatigue, muscle weakness, paralysis, and respiratory
failure, cardiac instability, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest
Normal blood pH range is 7.35-7.45.
What are the kidneys' endocrine functions? Renin secretion, Erythropoietin secretion, Vitamin D activation
What are the most common causes of CKD in the USA? • Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Polycystic Kidney Disease
, Signs & Symptoms of fluid imbalance Hypertension
• Edema
• Shortness of Breath
A common cause of hypertension in dialysis patients is • fluid overload
What does hypertension lead to? • Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy leads to: • ischemic heart disease, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, and sudden death
Why are dialysis patients anemic? The life span of their Primary cause: Lack of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO)
red blood cell is 60 days or approximately ½ of normal Secondary causes: Inadequate iron stores, inadequate dialysis, malnutrition,
120 days. blood loss during treatment
What are the four key elements contributing to CKD- • Calcium, Phosphorus, PTH, Vitamin D (Calcitriol)
Mineral Bone Disorder (MBD)? - All lead to CKD-MBD when they are abnormal
Pre-renal causes of AKI Obstruction, Volume Depletion, Impaired Cardiac Function
Intra-renal causes of AKI Ischemic ATN, Sepsis, SIRS, Septic Shock, Anaphylaxis Drugs, Goodpasture
Syndrome, Acute Glomerulonephritis, Trauma, Open Heart Surgery
Post-renal causes of AKI Obstruction, Oliguric, Bladder rupture, Pregnancy
Explain the difference between AKI and CKD • Eliminating the cause of the AKI can often lead to the return of kidney
function
• You cannot eliminate the cause of CKD which is HTN, Diabetes, genetic
disorders (PKD)
What are V-tags and why are they important? • They state specific regulations to be met within a condition such as infection
control, providing interpretive guidance for each regulation and citing
deficiencies by tag #
The manual conductivity value must match +/- 0.4 mS T
on the Fresenius (FMC) 2008K and K2 dialysis delivery
system displayed conductivity. Checking independent
conductivity is NOT required when using the Fresenius
2008T or T BlueStar models or B Braun hemodialysis
machines.
T or F
What is "strikethrough" of an external pressure • It is when fluid could have entered the machine and contaminated the internal
transducer and why is it of concern? pressure transducer protector providing a reservoir for microorganisms and
causing subsequent patient blood infections
