Kidney dialysis is the process of removing excess water, solutes, and toxins from the blood in people whose kidneys can no longer perform these functions naturally. Along with kidney transplantation, it is a type of renal replacement therapy.
DIALYSIS
Dialysis isthe procedure used to correct fluid and electrolyte
imbalances and to remove waste products in renal failure.
DO: waste removal and fluid removal.
Do Not - correct the endocrine functions of the kidney.
How long does hemodialysis take?
Hemodialysis usually is done two to three times a week. Each
treatment lasts from 2 to 4 hours.
.
HEMODIALYSIS
Hemo simplymeans "blood". Dialysis meaning "to pass
through. It removes nitrogenous waste products excess fluid
and electrolyte from the blood by means of artificial kidney
--Nearly 90% of all dialysis patients receives hemodialysis.
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
It removes nitrogenous waste products, excess fluids and
electrolytes from the blood by means of peritoneal
membrane
--Approximately 10-15% patients are receiving peritoneal
dialysis

DIALYZER
Dialyzer arehollow-fiber artificial kidneys that contain
thousands of tiny tubules that act as semipermeable
membranes.
The blood flows through the tubules, while a solution (the
dialysate) circulates around the tubules.
The exchange of wastes from the blood to the dialysate
occurs through the semipermeable membrane of the
tubules

PHYSIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES ONDIALYSIS
OSMOSIS
DIFFUSION
ULTRA FILTRATION
Diffusion-
movement of solutes from an are greater concentration to an area of
Iow concentration. In renal failure urea, creatinine, uric acid, and
electrolytes(Potassium, phosphate), move from the blood to the
dialysate with the net effect of lowering their concentration in the
blood. But WBC's, RBC's and other contents within the blood are too
large to diffuse across the membrane.

.
OSMOSIS
The movementof fluid from an area of lesser to an area of
greater concentration of solutes.
Glucose is added to the dialyzing solution and creates an
osmotic gradient across the membrane to remove excess
fluid from the blood.
Ultra filtration
Ultra filtration is defined as water moving under high
pressure to an area of lower pressure. This process is much
more efficient at water removal than osmosis.
Ultra filtration is accomplished by applying negative pressure
or a suctioning force to the dialysis membrane
9.
Vascular Access ofHemodialysis
Access to the patient's vascular system must be established to
allow blood to be removed, cleansed, and returned to the
patient's vascular system.
Several types of access are available.
Fistula
Graft
11.
Peritoneal Dialysis
Peritonealmembrane,
serves as the semi
permeable membrane for
dialysis.
It involves repeated cycle of
instilling dialyzing solution
into the peritoneal cavity
through a catheter into it.

Nursing care (BeforeDialysis)
Informed Consent
Explanation the procedure
Ask the patient to void
Check Wt., vitals (BP) at the beginning and at least every
30 minutes.
Check for cannula and fistula for patency and palpate for
the thrill and auscultation.
15.
Care During Dialysis
Regular observation of complications.
Check and record vitals 15 minutes.
Serve foods as patient's interest (not for hypotensive
prone patients)
Each treatment lasts from 2 to 4 hours.
During treatment, Pt. is allowed to read, write, sleep,
talk, or watch TV.
Back care and diversional therapy
Inform to Dr. if complications.
16.
Care after Dialysis
Check and record vital signs, Wt. after HD and total
filtration .
Record the condition of the patient.
Medications as ordered (if)Explain about the care
necessary after Hemodialysis.
Inform the family and patient of date for next dialysis .
Send the patient home or ward
