What is hemodialysis?
A renal replacement therapy that removes toxins and excess fluid from the
bloodstream for patients with kidney failure.
What are the common schedules for hemodialysis?
Traditional (3 times a week for 3-4 hours), Daily (2-3 hours, 6-7 days), and
Nightly (6-8 hours, three nights a week).
What is an A/V fistula?
A surgical connection between an artery and a vein, preferred for long-term
access in hemodialysis.
What are common complications of hemodialysis?
Hypotension, cramping, bleeding, dysrhythmias, chest pain, and rare
occurrences like air embolism.
What is Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)?
A therapy used in ICU settings for hemodynamically unstable patients, involving

What are the types of CRRT?
CVVH (Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration) and CVVHD (Continuous

What is peritoneal dialysis (PD)?
An alternative renal replacement therapy using the peritoneal membrane as a
filter to remove waste products.
What are the methods of peritoneal dialysis?
CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis) and CCPD (Continuous
Cycler Peritoneal Dialysis).
What is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis?
Peritonitis, an infection of the peritoneal cavity.
What is the significance of weight monitoring in kidney disorders?
A weight gain of 1 kg corresponds to 1 L of retained fluid, indicating fluid

What are the types of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)?
Prerenal, intrinsic, and postrenal.
