• Two normally functioning kidneys filter about 180 litres of blood a day, extracting about two litres of waste and extra water.

• Functional unit of kidney is the NEPHRON

• One healthy Kidney has approximately ONE MILLION NEPHRONS.

• However dialysis is a process in which blood is filtered to remove excess fluid, it uses a filter(membrane) and to remove excess fluid, it uses a filter(membrane) and special dialysate to remove the fluid and waste.

• Haemodialysis: synthetic/cellulose membrane

• Peritoneal dialysis: Peritoneal membrane

Dialysis CAN

• Remove waste products (e.g. urea, creatinine, phosphorus, etc.)• Remove excess water• Correct high or imbalanced levels of potassium, chloride, sodium, etc.

Dialysis CANNOT

• Automatically regulate blood pressure• Produce hormones like Erythropoetin (EPO)• Regulate normal calcium levels

Access for HameodialysisProtect My access: This is my life line

∗ AVFistulas (preferred and best)Pros• Last Longer(decades).• Less prone to infection.• Less chance of clotting.• Best dialysis performance.Cons• It takes time to mature.• Needles to be inserted every

Care of AVFistulasNo constrictive clothing.• Needles to be inserted every

time.• Bleeding after removing

needles.• Visible under the skin.• May require temporary access

while it develops. • Steal syndrome.• Aneurysms

No constrictive clothing.Avoid cuts and abrationsNo blood samples No Blood pressure No IV cannulasDo not sleep with your access arm under your head or body.Avoid dehydration

∗ ArterioVenous Fistula needles

Tunnelled Dialysis catheter

Pros

• Perform dialysis immediately.

• Avoids needle insertion each time.

Cons

• High infection rates.• High infection rates.

• May cause stenosis/ narrow central veins.

• Blood flow may not be sufficient to perform adequate dialysis.

• Difficult with shower or bath.

1.DiffusionThe movement of solutes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration; Clearance by diffusion targets small molecules.

Principles of Haemodialysis

DiffusionThe rate of movement of solutes is dependent upon blood and dialysate

flow rates, concentration gradient and the membrane characteristics.

2.UltrafiltrationUltrafiltration is achieved by the creation of pressure within the dialyser, forcing fluid from the blood to the dialysate.

This is created by applying positive pressure in the blood compartment and negative

3.Convection Solutes are dragged across a membrane with ultrafiltered fluid; the rate of transfer

is dependent on the ultrafiltrate volume. Clearance by convection targets middle molecular weight uremic toxins.

• Mortality rates are high with HD.

• Treatments are scheduled by the center and are relatively fixed. (12 hours weekly)

• Travel to the center for treatment.

• This treatment has the strictest diet and fluid limits of all.

Quality of life

all.

• Longer treatment times is more beneficial, however not liked by clients.

• Other endocrine functions: Anaemia management, Calcium phosphate management, BP management etc…

Best treatment option

Two types

∗ Cadaveric : From people that have died suddenly.

∗ Living donors: Living person usually a relative.

Average waiting time is more than 3years.

Renal Transplantation

Average waiting time is more than 3years.

More than 500 people waiting for transplant.

Demand is more supply is less.
