Study Notes
Introduction to HD: Case Presentation
- Ariane Schweighauser and Thierry Francey presented a case study
- They are experts in small animal internal medicine and nephrology
- They work at the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Bern, Switzerland
- The presentation is about best practices for intermittent hemodialysis in dogs and cats.
Outline of the Presentation
- Indications: Reasons for hemodialysis, such as acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and intoxication
- Modality: Different methods for treating kidney failure, such as intracorporeal (peritoneal dialysis) and extracorporeal (hemodialysis) methods, including intermittent, continuous, and hybrid approaches
- Prescription: The specific treatment plan, including the amount, type, and timing of treatments.
- Anticoagulation: Methods needed to prevent clotting during the procedures.
- Complications: Potential issues with hemodialysis, such as hypotension, dialysis disequilibrium, and catheter-related issues
- Outcome: The presentation includes prediction and results in specific cases such as the case study of Duke, a Labrador Retriever.
Case Study: Duke the Labrador Retriever
- A 3-month-old Labrador Retriever was presented with vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia.
- Diagnosed with anuric AKI, grade 5, with 5% overhydration.
- The dog also had hyperbilirubinemia (hepatic) and mild interstitial lung pattern.
- Suspected severe acute leptospirosis (affecting 3 organ systems).
- The case raises the question of whether dialysis is appropriate.
Indications for Hemodialysis
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Dialysis is used when uremia is expected to cause severe metabolic or organ dysfunction, aiming to prevent rather than resolve established morbidity, ideally when underlying causes are reversible
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Stage 4 CKD, when other treatments fail to manage uremic manifestations, is another indication for hemodialysis.
- Intoxication: Dialysis is used in situations with no effective antidote or alternative treatment when toxin concentration threatens morbidity, life, or tissue
Dialysis Modalities in the Presentation
- Intracorporeal: Peritoneal dialysis (PD).
- Extracorporeal: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) including intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), hybrid forms (including PIRRT and HDF).
Segev Scoring Model
- The Segev model is cited, but not well explained
- The model helps predict the outcome from kidney disease
Outcome Prediction for Duke
- Long term outcome of cats and dogs treated with intermittent hemodialysis for acute kidney injury was approximately 42% at 30 days and 33% at one year.
- An outcome prediction score of 9.9% likelyhood of survival is indicated.
Specifics of the Hemodialysis Procedures in the Presentation
- Duration of Treatment: The presentation displays the typical duration of intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT), and continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)
- Modality Selection: The choice of hemodialysis modality is influenced by medical considerations (azotemia, fluid overload), platform availability, staff expertise, staff resources and expected treatment duration.
Anticoagulation and Complications
- Anticoagulation is essential with extracorporeal circulation.
- Anticoagulation is needed to prevent clotting, and appropriate methods are needed are selected based on risks.
- Complications of hemodialysis include hypotension, thrombosis, arrhythmias, dialysis disequilibrium.
Additional Considerations
- The presentation emphasizes the importance of thoroughly assessing the animal's history and condition before proceeding with dialysis.
- The outcome of Duke, a 10kg dog, includes treatment duration and details of creatinine levels over 8 days of hospitalization.
- Considerations about the adequacy of treatment and overall care are highlighted.
