What does the kidney do in terms of?
• wastes and water balance?
• Acid base balance?
• Controlling BP?
• Controlling anemia?

![Page 9: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ASSESSMENTS OF RENAL FUNCTION
• u/a: negative for glucose, protein, blood, leukocytes, nitrites, ketones
• Specific gravity: measures concentration of the urine; normal values: 1.010-1.025
• Urine osmolality: normal 300-900 mOsm/ kg/24
• Serum creatinine: 0.6-1.2mg/dl• BUN: 7-18mg/dl• BUN to creatinine ratio: about 10:1
![Page 10: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENTS CONTINUED
• STANDARD FOR RENAL FUNCTION: assess glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
• Norm for this assessment is the creatinine clearance test done over 24 hours: normal rate is 80-125ml/min
![Page 11: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DEFINITIONS
• OLIGURIA: urine output is less than 30 ml/hr
• ANURIA: no urinary output
• NORMAL URINARY OUTPUT: 1500-1800ml/day
![Page 12: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CAUSES OF ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
• PRERENAL or factors external to the kidney which interferes with renal perfusion (55% cases of ARF)
• INTRARENAL: conditions that cause direct damage to renal tissue (35-40% cases of ARF)
• POSTRENAL: mechanical obstruction in the urinary tract (5% cases of ARF)
![Page 13: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

DIURETIC PHASE (lasts 1-3 wks)
Gradual increase of urine output as a result of osmotic diuresis
• Why does this happen?• What is the state of nephron?• Can the kidney excrete wastes?• Can the kidney concentrate urine?• What would we see in the patient during
this stage?
![Page 20: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

uremic halitosis– Metabolic acidosis: see tachypnea
(increased rate) and hyperpnea (increased depth) indicates worsening metabolic acidosis
• See Kussmaul respirations extreme hyperventilation

DIALYSIS: peritoneal and hemodialysis
![Page 34: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
![Page 36: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
• Diffusion of solute molecules through a semi-permeable membrane passing from the side of higher concentration to that of lower concentration
• Fluids passing through the semi-permeable membrane via osmosis
• Renal Failure pt has dialysis to remove waste products and to maintain life until kidney function can be restored
• Dialysis indicated for high levels of K and fluid overload
![Page 37: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
• Sterile dialyzing fluid is introduced into the peritoneal cavity
• Peritoneum is an inert semipermeable membrane
• The dialyzing solution promotes osmosis leading to diuresis
• Urea and creatinine are removed
![Page 38: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
NURSING CARE OF PT ON PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
• Baseline VS and wgt• Assess for fluid overload• Maintain highly accurate inflow and outflow
records• When PD starts the outflow may be bloody
or blood tinged• This clears within a week/two• Effluent should be clear and light yellow
![Page 39: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Nursing care during PD
• Drainage bag is lower than the client’s abdomen to enhance gravity drainage
• Avoid kinking or twisting, ensure clamps are open
• Reposition client to stimulate inflow or outflow
• Sitting/standing/coughing: increases intraabdominal pressure
![Page 40: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS OF PERITONEAL DIALYSIS
• Respiratory difficulties• Hypotension• Infection:
– peritonitis: see cloudy or opaque dialysate outflow (effluent), fever, abdominal tenderness, pain, malaise, N&V
• Hypo-albuminemia• Bowel perforation: • Bladder perforation: • Catheter may get clogged
![Page 41: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
COMPLICATION OF PD: Fibrin Clot formation
• Fibrin Clot formation
• Milking the tubing
• Xray
![Page 42: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
COMPLICATION OF PD: LEAKAGE
• Dialysate leakage
• See with obese, diabetic, older clients, those on long term steroids
![Page 43: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
HEMODIALYSIS
• Process by which the uremic toxins and accumulated waste products are removed from the blood
![Page 44: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
HEMODIALYSIS CONTINUED
• A synthetic semi-permeable membrane replaces the renal glomeruli and tubules and acts as a filter for the impaired kidneys
• Must have 3 times/week for 4 hours per treatment for rest of life
![Page 45: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Access to pt’s circulation via:
• AV shunt (less common): external silastic tubing placed in an adjacent artery and vein
• AV Fistula: internal access using pts own vessels (artery and vein)
• AV Graft: internal access using a foreign material
![Page 46: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
COMPLICATIONS Hemodialysis vascular access
• BLEEDING
• INFECTION
• CLOTTING
![Page 47: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Assessment during Hemodialysis
– Assess for disequilibrium reaction – CAUSE:
• due to rapid decrease in fluid volume and BUN levels• Change in urea levels can cause cerebral edema and
increased intracranial pressure• Neurologic complications: HA, N&V, restlessness,
decreased LOC, seizures, coma, death
• PREVENTION: starting HD for short periods with low blood flows
![Page 48: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Nursing care pre dialysis
• Vasoactive drugs which cause hypotension are held until after treatment
• CHECK WITH MD ABOUT WHICH DRUGS TO BE HELD
• Know pt’s BP predialysis
![Page 49: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Post dialysis nursing care
• BP and wgt• Hypotension • Temperature may also be elevated: • If client has a fever • Bleeding risk:
![Page 50: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
• Involves transplanting a kidney from a living donor or human cadaver to a recipient who has end-stage renal disease and requires dialysis to live
![Page 51: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
POSTOPERATIVE CONCERNS AFTER TRANSPLANT
major concern is rejection
• Drugs given to suppress immunologic reactions: Imuran, prednisone, cyclosporin (Cyclosporin A)
Next concern is infection
![Page 52: RENAL FAILURE 2008](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070404/56813bfb550346895da54b9c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
NRSG CARE POST KIDNEY TRANSPLANT
TO DETECT REJECTION:
• Assess for increased temp, pain or tenderness over grafted kidney
• Assess for decrease in urine output, edema, sudden wgt gain
• Assess for rise in serum creatinine and BUN values
