Chronic Kidney Disease
CKD
Dialysis
Renal Transplant

Bones can break, muscles can atrophy,
glands can loaf, even the brain can go to
sleep without immediate danger to
survival. But -- should kidneys fail....
neither bone, muscle, nor brain could
carry on.

anemia?

What happens to the serum calcium? Why?

How does the kidney control blood pressure?
Biopsy
 Ultrasound
 X-Rays
 Labs

Diagnostic studies


Blood Tests
◦ BUN
◦ Creatinine
◦ K+
◦ PO4
◦ Ca
Urinalysis
◦ Specific gravity
◦ Protein
◦ Creatinine clearance
BUN and Creatinine

BUN- Normal 6-20 mg/dl
◦ Nitrogenous waste product of protein
metabolism
◦ By itself: Unreliable in measurement of renal
function

Creatinine- Normal 0.6 - 1.3 mg/dl
◦ A waste product of muscle metabolism
◦ 2 times normal = 50% damage
◦ 8 times normal = 75% damage
◦ 10 times normal = 90% damage

◦ Why would you need to estimate GFR?
Glomerular Filtration Rate
Creatinine Clearance
 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance
◦ Most accurate indicator of Renal Function
◦ Reflects GFR
◦ Formula:
 urine creatinine X urine volume
serum creatinine
What is a normal GFR?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Slow and progressive, irreversible loss of kidney
function occurring over months to years

National Kidney Foundation◦ Presence of kidney damage or decreased GFR
< 60 mL/min for longer than 3 months
◦ End Stage Renal Disease -GFR<15 mL/min

Hypothyroidism
Nutrition : Describe a renal diet

Control
◦
◦
◦
◦
◦
Hyperkalemia – limit ex: citrus, meats, fish, avocado, beans, spinach
Hypertension -- weight loss, dec. etoh, smoking, DASH diet, meds, fluids
Hyperphosphatemia – meds, low phos diet – ex: milks & cheese
Hyperparthryoidism -- deal with Calcium/Phos issue
Anemia – procrit/epogen (could take 2-3 weeks to see a change in HH)
 Why don’t we transfuse these patients?
◦ Hyperglycemia – oral anti-diabetic meds, insulin, diet
◦ Dyslipidemia -- statins, keep LDL <100 & triglycerides <200
◦ Hypothyroidism – hormone replacement
◦ Nutrition : NOW, describe a renal diet?
Renal Diet
Fluids ?
 Avoid high protein
diet
 Restrict:

◦ sodium
◦ potassium
◦ phosphorous

Consume enough
calories, to maintain
weight
◦ esp. if losing weight
Patient Teaching
Dialysis

Removal of soluble
substances and water
from the blood by
diffusion through a
semi-permeable
membrane.
Peritoneal Dialysis
 Hemodyalisis

Dialysis
Osmosis
 Diffusion
 Ultrafiltration


What GFR value indicates need for
hemodialysis?
Peritoneal Dialysis(PD)

12% dialysis in US is PD

Types

APD: Automated Peritoneal Dialysis
(CCPD: Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis)
CAPD: Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
 IPD: Intermittent peritoneal dialysis

Phases of A Peritoneal Dialysis
Exchange
Fill: fluid infused into
peritoneal cavity
 Dwell: time fluid
remains in peritoneal
cavity
 Drain: time fluid
drains from
peritoneal cavity

PD
Warm, sterile dialysate infused into
peritoneal cavity through catheter.
 2000-2500ml
 High concentration of glucose in dialysate
 Wastes & lytes diffuse into dialysate until
equilibrium achieved
 Bag lowered, gravity drain
 Solution should be clear/straw colored

CAPD





Catheter into
peritoneal cavity
Exchanges 4 - 5 times
per day
Treatment 24 hours; 7
days a week
Solution remains in
peritoneal cavity
except during drain
time
Independent treatment
PD Teaching
Asepsis
 Empty bladder first
 Monitor urine output
 Monitor s/s of infection
 Monitor s/s of FVO

Complications of Peritoneal
Dialysis
Exit site infection
 Peritonitis
 Hernias
 Low Back problems
 Bleeding
 Pulmonary Complications
 Protein Loss

Nursing considerations

Fluid & electrolyte balance must be maintained
to prevent dehydration and/or fluid overload.

Assess:
◦ Daily weights.
◦ Lung sounds.
◦ Presence of edema.
◦ Total I & O (including + and – PD fluid
balances).
◦ Blood pressure.
◦ Other S&S of dehydration or fluid overload
Nursing considerations

Assess for alterations in blood glucose levels in
diabetics from the use of dextrose-based dialysate.

Check visually for changes in the appearance of the
effluent with each exchange.

Reinforce exit site dressing for newly inserted PD
catheters. Do not remove original dressing unless
trained to do so.

Be alert to tubing getting kinked or caught under
patient, which will prevent infusion or draining of
dialysate.
Advantages of CAPD
Independence for patient
 No needle sticks
 Better blood pressure control
 Some diabetics add insulin to solution
 Fewer dietary restrictions

◦ protein loses in dialysate
◦ generally need increased potassium
◦ less fluid restrictions
Hemodialysis (HD)

Dialysis
 Survival Rates (probability of survival)
approx:
 1 year
80%
 2 years
68%
 5 years
35.8%
 10 years
11%
 5 year survival rate for transplant: 85.5%
History of HD
Early animal experiments began 1913
 1st human dialysis 1940’s by Dutch physician Willem
Kolff
 Considered experimental through 1950’s, No
intermittent blood access; for acute renal kidney injury
only.
 1940’s -1960’s
◦ Dr. Scribner developed Scribner Shunt
 1960’s
◦ machines expensive, scarce, no funding
 “Death Panels” panels within community decided now
who got to dialyze

Hemodialysis Process
Blood removed from
patient into the
extracorporeal
circuit.
 Diffusion and
ultrafiltration take
place in the dialyzer.
 Cleaned blood
returned to patient

Vascular Access
Arterio-Venous shunt
 Arterio-venous fistula (AVF)
 Arterio-venous Graft (AVG)
 Temporary Catheters

Arterio-Venous (AV) Fistula
Primary Fistula



Patients artery and vein
surgically anastomosed.
Advantages
◦ patients own vein
◦ longevity
◦ low infection and
thrombosis rates
Disadvantages
◦ long time to mature,
1- 6 months
◦ “steal” syndrome
◦ requires needle sticks
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Graft
Synthetic “vessel”
anastomosed into an artery
and vein.
 Advantages
◦ for people with inadequate
vessels
◦ can be used in 1-4 weeks
◦ prominent vessels
 Disadvantages
◦ clots easily
◦ “steal” syndrome more
frequent
◦ requires needle sticks
◦ infection may necessitate
removal of graft


– subclavian vein stenosis
– poor flow-inadequate
dialysis
– clotting
– restricts movement
Cuffed Tunneled Catheters
Dual lumen catheter with
Dacron cuff surgically
tunneled into subclavian,
jugular or femoral vein.
 Advantages
◦ immediate use
◦ can be used for patients
that can have no other
permanent access
◦ no needle sticks
 Disadvantages
◦ high incidence of infection
◦ poor flows result in
inadequate dialysis
◦ clotting

Care of Vascular Access
(PTFE Graft or AV Fistula)
NO BP’s, needle sticks to arm with
vascular access. This includes finger
sticks.
 Place ID bands on other arm whenever
possible.
 Palpate thrill and listen for bruit.
 Teach patient nothing constrictive.

Prevention of Infection

Major complication of transplantation due
to immunosuppression

What do you teach?
Rejection
Hyperacute
 preformed antibodies to donor antigen
◦ function ceases within 24 hours
◦ Rx = removal

Accelerated
 same as hyperacute but slower, 1st week to
month
◦ Rx = removal

Rejection
Acute –
 First 6 months

◦ 50% experience
◦ must differentiate between rejection and
cyclosporine toxicity
◦ Rx= Usually reversible with additional
immunosuppressants- put at higher risk for
infection
Rejection
Chronic
 gradual process over months or years
 Irreversible

◦ Repeated rejection episodes that have not
been completely resolved with treatment
◦ Rx = return to dialysis or re-transplantation
Immunosuppressant Drugs

Need to balance suppression with maintenance of
adequate defense

Side effects◦ Infection
◦ Malignancies
◦ Toxicity

