Study Notes
Nutrition Care for Renal Disorders
- Overview of Renal Disorders: The presentation covers nutritional management for various renal disorders, including nephrolithiasis, acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Kidney Function and Physiology
- Anatomy: Two kidneys, positioned either side of the spine below the rib cage, and shaped like a kidney bean. Each kidney weighs roughly one-quarter of a pound. The kidneys contain approximately 140 miles of tubes and filters.
- Function: The kidneys eliminate waste by filtering blood, regulate red blood cell (RBC) production, control blood pressure (BP), and maintain the body's chemical and fluid balance.
- Waste Elimination: Kidneys filter about 180 liters of fluid per day. Healthy kidneys reabsorb most components, excreting approximately 1.5 liters of urine daily. Waste products, such as urea, uric acid, creatinine, and ammonia, are eliminated in the urine. Oliguria refers to urine output less than 500 mL/day.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
- Definition: Sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR), negatively impacting the kidney's ability to excrete metabolic waste, leading to fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Episodes typically last a few days or weeks.
- Causes: Prerenal (inadequate kidney perfusion due to factors like hypovolemia, dehydration, heart failure), intrinsic (issues within the kidney itself, including drug toxicity and impaired perfusion), and postrenal (obstruction of urine flow, e.g., due to bladder, prostate cancer, or stones).
- Phases: Oliguric phase (urine output <500 mL/day), diuretic phase (increased urine output), and convalescent phase (lab values normalize).
- Medical Management: Dialysis (renal replacement therapy, or RRT), including hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), may be needed, depending upon severity.
- Nutrition Management: Correcting electrolyte imbalances, managing uremia, and adequately supplying energy and protein are crucial. Specific needs vary across AKI stages and dialysis statuses.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Definition: Progressive loss of kidney function due to chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension (HTN), or glomerulonephritis. This results in a gradual decline in GFR, the rate at which the kidneys filter waste.
- Stages: CKD is staged based on the GFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate). Stages reflect the severity of kidney function loss.
- Nutrition Management: Dietary protein restriction is often recommended, though the exact level depends on the severity of kidney dysfunction and presence of other medical conditions like diabetes or hypertension. This is crucial to slowing progression of the disease
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
- Definition: When approximately two-thirds of kidney function is lost. The kidneys can no longer adequately filter waste products, leading to a requirement for dialysis or transplantation.
- Symptoms: Elevated BUN and creatinine levels (measured in the blood), symptoms of uremia (e.g., muscle weakness, cramps, itching, neurological impairment).
- Treatment: Long-term dialysis is required, or a kidney transplant. Nutritional management focuses on adequate energy, appropriate protein intake, strict fluid control as well as addressing electrolyte and calcium-phosphorus imbalances.
Dialysis
- Hemodialysis (HD): Blood is filtered and cleansed using a semipermeable membrane within a machine (artificial kidney), then returned to the bloodstream. It typically lasts for 3-5 hours, performed 3 times a week.
- Peritoneal Dialysis (PD): A special fluid (dialysate) is introduced into the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), which facilitates diffusion of waste into the dialysate, which is then removed and discarded. This procedure can be performed at home multiple times daily.
- Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD): A type of PD, the dialysate remains in the peritoneum continuously, with exchanges occurring throughout the day.
Specific Considerations
- General MNT: Detailed guidelines for protein, energy, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and fluid intake are discussed, depending upon condition and dialysis type.
- Metabolic Bone Disease: This complication of kidney disease needs dietary phosphate restriction and appropriate calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
- Iron: Kidney disease often leads to iron deficiency, requiring specific monitoring and management.
- Vitamins: Recommendations regarding vitamin intake reflect potential deficiencies common in kidney disease and or the effects of dialysis treatment.
Additional Notes
- Specific considerations for age group, including children, are highlighted—the need for frequent monitoring and support tailored to child development and lifestyle is emphasized.
- Nutritional management principles are discussed to guide recommendations for each stage of disease, considering how dietary changes can maintain overall health and quality of life.
