Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stages
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stages
CKD stages are categorized by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR): GFR 60-89, GFR 30-59, GFR 15-29.
Dialysis Types
Dialysis Types
Dialysis treatments include Hemodialysis (HD), Peritoneal dialysis (PD), and Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).
Dialysis Indications
Dialysis Indications
Dialysis is used for acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), elevated BUN, elevated creatinine, or electrolyte imbalances.

Study Notes
Kidney Disorders
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stages: GFR 60-89, 50-59, 30-49, 15-29
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) causes: renal failure, fluid overload, volume depletion, acid-base imbalance, medications
Renal Replacement Therapy
- Dialysis (HD, PD, CRT): Used to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood
- Indications: Acute kidney failure, chronic kidney disease (CKD), electrolyte imbalances, acid-base disturbances, fluid overload
- Maintenance: Nourishment, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
- Hemodialysis (HD): Uses a machine to filter blood, removes excess waste, restores balance to electrolytes & fluids.
- Peritoneal Dialysis (PD): Uses the peritoneum (membrane lining the abdomen) as a filter.
- Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT): Used for critically ill patients, removes toxins and regulates fluid balance.
Complications
- Hypertension
- Fluid overload
- Electrolyte imbalance
- Infections
- Access site complications
- Nutritional deficiencies
