patient care and assist patient in recieving safe andeffective dialysis.
What is CKD? - ✔✔Chronic Kidney Disease
What is the main goal of dialysis treatment? - ✔✔To acheive the highest
level of wellness possible by removing wastes and excess liquid from the
blood.
Who makes up the dialysis team - ✔✔Technicians,Nurses, Dieticians,
Social Workers, Doctors & Patients.
What are some factors which affect one's overall health? - ✔✔Age, Activity
Level, Treatment Plan, Other Illness & Support System.
Which are the two most common types of Dialysis? - ✔✔Periotoneal (PD)

What 3 functions does dialysis replace? - ✔✔1. Removes wastes from
blood,
2. Removes excess fluid,
3. Balaces electrolyes.
What are electroyles? - ✔✔Electrolytes are the salts in the body. The most
common salts are sodium ions, potassium ions, and chloride ions that carry
an electrical charge.
Why are electrolytes important? - ✔✔The electrolytes in the blood serum
produce an electrical charge, which permit cells to preform their normal
functions.
what happens if the electrical charges amongst the electrolyes become
unbalanced? - ✔✔The nerve and muscle cells within the body, including
the brain, may fail to conduct nerve impulses, leading to cramps and
confusion. Further electrolyte imbalances can lead to heart failure, siezures
or water retention.
What is an Ion? - ✔✔An electrically charged particle
What is a dialyzer? - ✔✔A synthetic or organic devise that serves as the
artificial kidney. It has a blood compartment and a dialysate compartment.

What does the dialyzer permit? - ✔✔It allows for the counterflow of
dialysate and blood, which are seperated by a semipermiable membrane or
hollow microfibers.
Describe the flow of fluids through the dialyzer. - ✔✔Blood flows through
the microfibers (blood compartment) and dialysate flows around the
microfibers (dialysate compartment).
What is a semipermiable membrane? - ✔✔A barrier with microscopic pores
which allow for the passage of some substances but not others, depending
on size.
In (HD) Hemodialysis, what is the delivery system? - ✔✔The dialysis
machine.
What does the delivery system control? - ✔✔Blood flow (Extraction and
Return), Saftey Parameters, Dialysate Mixing and the Delivery of Dialysate.
Typically, how often is HD preformed? - ✔✔Three times per week, 4 hours
each treatment.
How much kidney function does (HD) dialysis replace? - ✔✔About 15% of
kidney function is restored through Hemodialysis.
Can HD be done independantly at home? - ✔✔Yes, short treatments 5 to 6
times per week or longer treatments at night 3-7 days a week.
