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
