Ahmad Al-zoubi Glomerular filtration rate : is the sum of the ultrafiltration rates from plasma into the Bowman s space in each nephron and is a measure of renal excretory function *co : 6L *renal blood flow = 20% co = 1.2 *plasma 50 % of blood = 600 ml * filtration fracion is 20% = 120 ml * It is proportionate to body size and the reference value is usually expressed after correction for body surface area as 120 ± 25 ml/min/1.73 m2 How to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) * estimation?? reflect what? it s a rough measure of the number of functioning nephron reflect how much the damage 1-Direct measurement A) using labelled ethylenediamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) or inulin *note :1- which are completely filtered at the glomerulus and are not secreted or reabsorbed by the renal tubules 2-This is not performed routinely, however, and is usually reserved for special circumstances, such as the assessment of renal function in potential live kidney donors

Sexual/reproductive symptoms due to hypothalamic-pituitary disturbances and gonadal response to sex hormones: in men, decreased testosterone; in women, amenorrhea, infertility, and hyperprolactinemia. c. Pruritus (multifactorial etiology) common and difficult to treat. Dialysis and ultraviolet light 6. Fluid and electrolyte problems a. Volume overload watch for pulmonary edema. b. Hyperkalemia due to decreased urinary secretion. c. Hypermagnesemia occurs secondary to reduced urinary loss. e. Metabolic acidosis due to loss of renal mass (and thus decreased
ammonia production) and the kidney s inability to excrete H 7. Immunologic Suggested investigations in chronic kidney disease Urea and creatinine Urinalysis and quantification of proteinuria Electrolytes Calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone and 25(OH)D Albumin Full blood count (± Fe, ferritin, folate, B12) Lipids, glucose ± HbA1c Renal ultrasound evaluate size? /rule out obstruction Hepatitis and HIV serology management The aims of management in CKD are to: monitor renal function change in GFR prevent or slow further renal damage limit complications of renal failure treat risk factors for cardiovascular disease prepare for RRT, if appropriate Dialysis: the blood interfaces with an artificial solution resembling human
plasma (called the dialysate), and diffusion of fluid and solutes occurs across a semipermeable membrane. The two major methods of dialyzing a patient are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis *indications for dialysis: 1. Nonemergent indications: a. Cr and BUN levels are not absolute indications for dialysis b. Symptoms of uremia Nausea and vomiting Lethargy/deterioration in mental status, encephalopathy, seizures Pericarditis 2. Emergent indications (usually in the setting of renal failure) a. Life-threatening manifestations of volume overload Pulmonary edema Hypertensive emergency refractory to antihypertensive agents b. Severe, refractory electrolyte disturbances, for example, hyperkalemia, hypermagnesemia c. Severe metabolic acidosis d. Drug toxicity/ingestions (particularly in patients with renal failure): methanol, ethylene glycol, lithium, aspirin Absolute Indications for Dialysis Acidosis significant, intractable metabolic acidosis Electrolytes severe, persistent hyperkalemia Intoxications methanol, ethylene glycol, lithium, aspirin Overload hypervolemia not managed by other means Uremia (severe) based on clinical presentation, not laboratory
values (e.g., uremic pericarditis is an absolute indication for dialysis) Dialyzable Substances Salicylic acid Lithium Ethylene glycol Magnesiumcontaining laxatives Hemodialysis 1. Process a. The patient s blood is pumped by an artificial pump outside of the body through the dialyzer, which typically consists of fine capillary networks of semipermeable membranes.the dialysate flows on the outside of these networks, and fluid and solutes diffuse across the membrane. b. The patient s blood must be heparinized to prevent clotting in the dialyzer. 2. Frequency: Most hemodialysis patients require 3 to 5 hours of dialysis 3 days per week. 3. Access a. the central catheter most often in the subclavian or jugular vein for temporary access. b. Tunneled catheters are placed under the skin which leads to a lower rate of infection. These catheters are often suitable for use up to 6 months. c. Arteriovenous fistula* An audible bruit over the fistula indicates that it is
patent. **. Advantages of hemodialysis. a. It is more efficient than peritoneal dialysis. High flow rates and efficient dialyzers shorten the period of time required for dialysis. b. It can be initiated more quickly than peritoneal dialysis, using temporary vascular access in the emergent setting. ** Disadvantages of hemodialysis. a. It is less similar to the physiology of natural kidney function than is peritoneal dialysis, predisposing the patient to the following: Hypotension due to rapid removal of intravascular volume leading to
rapid fluid shifts from the extravascular space into cells. Hypo-osmolality due to solute removal. b. Requires vascular access. 2-Peritoneal dialysis 1. Process a. The peritoneum serves as the dialysis membrane. Dialysate fluid is infused into the peritoneal cavity, then fluids and solutes from the peritoneal capillaries diffuse into the dialysate fluid, which is drained from the abdomen. b. A hyperosmolar (high-glucose) solution is used, and water is removed from the blood via osmosis. 2. Frequency: dialysate fluid is drained and replaced every hour in acute peritoneal dialysis, but only once every 4 to 8 hours in CAPD. 3. Access a. With CAPD, dialysate is infused into the peritoneal fluid via an implanted catheter. b. A temporary catheter is used for acute peritoneal dialysis.. Advantages a. The patient can learn to perform dialysis on his or her own. b. It mimics the physiology of normal kidney function more closely than hemodialysis in that it is more continuous. 5. Disadvantages a. High glucose load may lead to hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia. b. Peritonitis is a significant potential complication. c. The patients must be highly motivated to selfadminister it. d. Cosmetic there is increased abdominal girth due to dialysate fluid.
First-use syndrome : chest pain, back pain, and rarely, anaphylaxis may occur immediately after a patient uses a new dialysis machine
