>>Amyloidosis
_correct Amyloidosis occurs when aproteingcalled
answer_
beta-2-microglobulin -B2M- builds up in soft
tissues, bones, and joints. The deposits can cause joint and or
bone pain. High-flux membranes and or noctournal
hemodialysis remove more B2M, which may help prevent or
treat this problem.
>>Anaphylaxis
_correct Anaphylaxis is a fast severe immune response to
answer_ an
allergen. Hives, itching, or wheezing may occur. Anaphylactic
shock may cause blood pressure drop; change in heart
rhythms or arrest; and swelling of the lips, tongue, and
throat. This problem can be fatal.
>>Anastomosis
_correct An anastomosis is a surgical connection beteen
answer_ two blood
vessels. Dialysis needles should not be inserted into the area
of the anastomosis in a fistual or graft.
,>>Adsorb
_correct Adsorb means to attract and hold. The dialyzer
answer_ membrane
adsorbs blood proteins to the walls of the hollow
Abscess
_correct An abscess is an infection under the skin. It looks
answer_ lika
blister or pimple filled with fluid or pus. If needles are inserted
into or near an abscess, infection of a dialysis access or other
tissues may occur.
>>Access
_correct An access -vascular access- is a route into the
answer_ bloodstream
that allows enough blood flow for hemodialysis. For permanent
access, a surgeon connects a vein to an artery.
>>This can be done directly - fistula- or with a piece of
synthetic tubing graft. For short term access, a catheter may
be placed in a large central vein. >>Acid
_correct An acid is substance with a pH below 7.0 that can
answer_ donate a
hydrogen ion -H+. In the human body, acids form when protein
and other foods are broken down by cell metabolism.
>>Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome - AIDS
_correct answer_
,>>Acute Kidney Failure
_correct Acute kidney failure has a sudden onset. It is
answer_ most often
caused by an illness, injury, or toxin that stresses the kidneys.
Some patients who survive acute kidney failure can recover
kidney function. Others die or go on to develop chronic kidney
failure.
>>Alum
_correct Alum is an aluminum compound. It is often
answer_ added to city
water supplies to remove sediment and make the water
clearer.
>>Aluminum can build up in the bodies and brains of dialysis
patients.
Aluminum in dialysis water must be kept at low levels with
water treatment.
, _correct >>Aluminum-Related Bone Disease - ARBD
answer_
_correct ARBD is cause by long-term exposure to
answer_ aluminum. Aluminum builds up in the tissues at
the point where new bone forms and be seen on X-ray. Sources
of aluminum include dialysis water, medications, and
cookware.
>>Phosphate binders with aluminum are also a source, but
these are rarely used today. Symptoms of ARBD can include
deep bone pain, muscle weakness, and fractures.
_correct answer_
fibers during a treatment.
>>This can make reused dialyzers more biocompatible than
new ones - if bleach is not used to remove the protein coating.
_correct answer_
>>Advance Directives
_correct Advance directives outline a patient's wishes
answer_ for medical
treatment in case he or she becomes too ill to make such
choices. A living will is one type of advance directive.
>>The patient's family and other members ofthe care team
should be told of the patient's wishes when an advance
directive is done and given a copy to keep.
