    Study Notes

    Hemodialysis Procedure

    • Before HD treatment, assess fluid status by checking weight, BP, peripheral edema, heart, and lung sounds
    • Assess vascular access and temperature
    • Monitor vital signs (VS) every 30-60 minutes
    • Two large-bore needles are placed in the fistula or graft: one for pulling blood from circulation to the HD machine and one for returning dialyzed blood to the patient

    Hemodialysis System Components

    • Dialysate delivery and monitoring system is used
    • Heparin is added to prevent clotting

    Hemodialysis Procedure (Termination)

    • The dialyzer/blood lines are primed with saline solution to eliminate air
    • The procedure is terminated by flushing with saline to return all blood to the patient
    • Needles are removed, and firm pressure is applied

    Case Study: Hemodialysis Readiness

    • Before starting HD treatment, assess:
      • Fluid status (weight, BP, peripheral edema, heart and lung sounds)
      • Vascular access
      • Temperature
      • VS every 30-60 minutes

    Kidney Transplant Surgical Procedure

    • The transplant recipient undergoes:
      • Urinary catheter placement into the bladder
      • Antibiotic solution instillation to decrease infection risk
      • Crescent-shaped incision
    • The donor kidney is anastomosed to the recipient's iliac artery and vein
    • The transplant recipient's ureter is tunneled through the bladder submucosa (ureteroneocystotomy)

    Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT)

    • Infusion of replacement fluid is determined by the degree of fluid and electrolyte imbalance
    • Anticoagulants are needed to prevent blood clotting
    • Customized to patient's needs

    Continual Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) vs Hemodialysis (HD)

    • CRRT is continuous rather than intermittent
    • Fluid volume can be removed over days versus hours
    • Solute removal is by convection (no dialysate required) in addition to osmosis and diffusion
    • Less hemodynamic instability

    Kidney Transplant Nursing Management

    • Postoperative care:
      • Dehydration must be avoided
      • Assess for hyponatremia/hypokalemia
      • Monitor urine output and maintain catheter patency
      • Patient education: signs and symptoms of rejection, infection, and surgical complications; follow-up care

    Kidney Transplant Immunosuppressive Therapy

    • Goals:
      • Adequately suppress immune response to prevent rejection
      • Maintain sufficient immunity to prevent overwhelming infection

    Kidney Transplant Complications

    • Rejection types:
      • Hyperacute (antibody-mediated, humoral) rejection
      • Acute rejection
      • Chronic rejection
    • Recurrence of original kidney disease:
      • Glomerulonephritis
      • IgA nephropathy
      • Diabetic nephropathy
      • Focal segmental sclerosis
    • Corticosteroid-related complications:
      • Aseptic necrosis of joints
      • Peptic ulcer disease
      • Diabetes
      • Cataracts
      • Dyslipidemia
      • Infections
      • Cancers
