TYPE OF DIALYSIS
This type of dialysis uses the peritoneal membrane as a semipermeable membrane.
What is peritoneal dialysis?
A progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function lasting longer than 3 months.
What is chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
Rhabdomyolysis could lead to this disease
What is acute kidney injury (AKI)?
Normal urine output for an adult is at least this amount per hour.
What is 30 mL/hr?
This electrolyte is most dangerous when elevated in renal failure.
What is potassium?
This dialysis method is typically performed 3 times per week in a dialysis center
What is hemodialysis?
This disease is characterized by immune-mediated damage to the glomeruli usually from an infection with the most common symptom being flank pain.
What is glomerulonephritis?
This condition is associated with anemia, bone disease, and uremia
What is chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
This urine characteristic may indicate dehydration.
What is dark, concentrated urine?
Elevated BUN and creatinine indicate impaired function of this organ system.
Elevated BUN and creatinine indicate impaired function of this organ system.
This type of dialysis requires strict sterile technique to prevent peritonitis.
What is peritoneal dialysis?
Long-term uncontrolled diabetes is the leading cause of this renal condition.
What is diabetic nephropathy?
A reversible decline in kidney function related to shock or trauma
What is AKI?
This physical assessment finding is common in nephrotic syndrome.
What is edema?
This ECG change is associated with hyperkalemia.
What are peaked T waves?
An AV fistula is most commonly used for which type of dialysis?
What is hemodialysis?
This inherited disorder causes fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys.
What is polycystic kidney disease (PKD)?
Small, shrunken kidneys are most commonly seen in this condition.
What is CKD?
This lab value is the best indicator of kidney function.
What is glomerular filtration rate (GFR)?
Low calcium levels in CKD are often related to impaired activation of this vitamin.
What is vitamin D?
This dialysis complication includes hypotension, headaches, nausea, confusion, and seizures due to cerebral edema
What is dialysis disequilibrium syndrome?
This condition results from prolonged obstruction of urine flow causing kidney damage.
What is postrenal kidney failure?
Persistent GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m² for at least 3 months defines this diagnosis.
What is CKD?
Crackles in the lungs and weight gain in a renal patient indicate this problem.
What is fluid volume excess?
This acid–base imbalance is common in advanced renal failure.
This acid–base imbalance is common in advanced renal failure.
