Introduction • In children with chronic kidney disease as GFR declines to less 30ml/min/1.73 m2 ( Stage 4 CKD) • Preparation for renal replacement therapy are needed. • The child and his family should be provided with information related to preemptive kidney transplantation • Peritoneal dialysis • Hemodialysis • Renal replacement therapy is initiated in children with CKD stage 5 in some children with CKD stage 4 • Hemodialysis in children progress over last 20 years • Morbidity of the session has decreased • Technological progress, the availability of ESA and GH enhanced dialysis dose and increase quality of life • Technically all children can underwent HD even infants
Indication of RRT • Renal function, ?GFR • Before uremic symptoms • Fluid status • Biochemical abnormalities • Acute renal failure • Oligoanuric • Resistant volume overload to medical treatment • Hyperkalamia resistant to medical treatment • Persistent metabolic acidosis resistant to medical treatment • Uremic encephalopathy • Uremic pericarditis • Inborn error of metabolism • Intoxication
Incidence of ESRD in Children • ESRD in children is uncommon • Incidence in USA 14.8 / Million New Zealand 13.6 / million Japan 4 / million • The choice of RRT children: • ¼ underwent preemptive renal transplantation • ½ started in peritoneal dialysis • ¼ started in hemodialysis • Preemptive kidney transplantation which is performed prior to the need of dialysis. • Renal transplantation is associated with better quality of life (Growth and Development)
Pediatric Dialysis in Saudi Arabia • HD Patients above 75 years and below 15 years of age 2012 • Below 15 years 223 (1.8%) • 15-75 11739 (91.4%) • Above 75 878 (6.8%) • PD patients adult and children 2012 • Children 172/1327 = 13% • Adults 1155/1327 = 87% SCOT Annual Report 2012

Choices of Dialysis • When preemptive transplantation is not an option • the choices between the two forms of dialysis is generally dictated by patients age, technical, social, compliance issues and family preference.
Principle of Vascular Access • Deliver adequate flow rate • Has long use life • Has low rate of complications • - Infection • - Stenosis • - Thrombosis • - Aneurysm • - Limb ischemia
The best is AVF • USA - CVC used most often more than AVF and graft - CVC 89% For children<13 Years 64% 13-19 YEARS • Review of 2006 annual reports (NAPRTCS) reveals that in a family of pediatric patients 78.9% receiving HD have CVC as primary access. • AVF 12.3% • AVG 8.5%
AV Fistula con’t. • PREFERRED SITE FOR AVF IN CHILDREN • Radiocephalic • Brachiocephalic • Brachiobasilic with or without transposition • Alternative: • Ulnar artery to basilic vein • Femoral artery to saphenous vein • Nondominant forearm
Definite guidelines regarding minimal vessel sites don’t exist • General consensus preferred of minimum 2.5 mm venous diameter • Doppler U/S scanning or venography can provide information regarding adequate: A) vessel size B) venous stenosis
AVG AVGShould be considered an option for HD access in children especially who require replacement of native vessels to perform an adequate anastamosis Alternative materials: • Saphenous vein • Bovine • Umbilical • Darcon • Polyurethane, cryopreserved femoral vein • Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) is most commonly used
One study compare bovine with PTFE graft demonstrated fewer complications with PTFE ones: • - Lower infections • - Lower thrombosis • - Easier to obtain and easier to repair • Graft are most commonly placed in forearm between brachial artery & basilic to brachial vein. • The thigh can be used femoral artery and saphenous to femoral vein in small children • -Higher infection rates been noted with thigh graft than with upper extremity grafts
Advantage of AVG • Shorter time to use • High primary potency rate • Ease of technical creation • Sheath et al reported creation of 24 AVF and 28 AVG respectively . • The most common site of AVG is the thigh -50% of patients • Disadvantages of AVG • Thrombosis • Stenosis • Infection Sheath et al permanent vascular access survival in children and adolescent with end stage renal disease 2002 Kidney Int 62:1864-1869
Ramage et al reported long term complications rate of AVF compare with AVG in retrospective study conducted over 20 years - Intervention rate 17.8% AVF compared to 33% of AVG Reason of discontinuation of AVG were: 1. Infection 20% 2. Thrombosis 73% • Chant et al evaluated dialysis adequacy , KT/V , URR, anemia management and albumin status based on vascular access. No difference between AVF & AVG • Possible Complications of graft 1. Thrombosis 2. Stenosis 3. Infection 4.Steal syndrome Ramage et al Vascular access survival in children and young adults receiving long term hemodilaysis 2005 AJKD 45:708-714 Chant et al Comparison of vascular access type for pediatric HD with respect to urea clearance, anemia management, & serum albumin conc. 2005 AJKD 45:303-308
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER • Central venous catheter are the most commonly used vascular access in children in north America data from USRDS 40% of children who were receiving chronic HD continued to use catheter • Data from ANZDATA 2008 showed the catheters were used exclusively below 10 years of age • NAPRTCS 2008 • 78% catheters • 12% AVF • 7% AVG • European Pediatric Dialysis Working Group • 60% catheters • 38% AVF • 2%AVG
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER First choice in patient require urgent HD 2. Stage V CKD 3. As abridge from a patient who is expected to receive planned transplant 4. Is training to transfer to PD • Advantage - It can be used immediately • Disadvantage 1. Short life span 2. Thrombosis 3.Infection 4. Malfunction 5. Possible fibrin sheath formation • Median survival times of CVC is 4 months – 10.6 months
CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER • Goldstein et al evaluated catheter survival time in 58 uncuffed & 22 cuffed CVCs • Median survival time of uncuffed catheter is 31 days and cuffed catheter is 123 days • 1 year survival of long term cuffed catheter 27% • CVC in children whose vasculature is too small <10 kg, CVC may be the best temporary solution • Goldstein et al 1997 HD catheter survival and complications in children and adolescent pediatric nephrology 11: 74-77
Two questions to be answered: • What size of catheter to use? • Where to put it?
Pousielle’s law- • Smaller diameters offer greater resistance to flow • Longer lengths offer greater resistance to flow • Decreasing the diameter by 1/5th is the same as doubling the length (roughly a 2 French size difference) Q = ∆Pπr4 8l
Vascular Access • Central Venous catheter • Cuffed catheter • Uncuffed catheter
Complications of CVC • USRDS data have shown sepsis rate with CVCs approximate 80/100 patient as compared to 10/100 patient for AVF • Potential sequences of CVC include: - Septic shock - Subacute bacterial endocarditis - Osteomyelitis - Epidural abscess • One study evaluated potential differences in infection rate based on use of three agents for exit site care - 2% chlorhexidine found infection rate is 0.5% - 10% povidine iodine found infection rate is 2.5% - 70% alcohol found infection rate is 2.3% • Different antimicrobial catheter lock studies suggest that citrate is ideal
Monitoring of vascular access • Goldstein et al described use of dilution technique on regular basis on pediatric patient population to date improve the life of access. • Use of ultrasound 50% reduction in number of hospitalized patient. • This further supported by NFK/K-DOQI guidelines for pediatric vascular access . • Based on review of current literature the authors would propose the following as tools for ongoing monitoring of AVFs and AVGs.
Access Monitoring • 1. Inspection: the access should be assessed weekly through inspection, palpation, and auscultation by the nursing staff. • - With specific attention to arm swelling. • - Prolonged bleeding after needle removal. • - Change in thrills or bruits. • -The nephrologist should inspect the access at each physical examination. • 2. Surveillance ↓KT/V or URR. Determination of access recirculation should be documented on a monthly basis. • Ultrasound dilution/month if not available do Doppler U/S /month.
Access Monitoring • 3. Referral: Fistulogram with possible angioplasty if: - Inadequate blood flow comprising adequacy. - Elevate access recirculation >20% after needle connection. - Corrected access flow less than 650ml/min/1.73m2 by U/S dilution. - Consistent abnormality on Doppler U/S. -Pseudoaneurysm has formed, rotation of puncture site can help minimize risk of pseudoaneurysm.

Recommended Methods vs Treatment Type for 2-3 HD per week • For 2 or 3 dialysis Treatment per week • Single pool Kt/Vurea determined by: • Urea kinetic modeling • Simplified multivariable equation • Equilibrated Kt/V (eKt/V) • Bloodless measurements of dialyzer clearance using ionic conductance or dialysate urea monitoring URR • Double pool Kt/Vurea by formal kinetic modeling (used only for research purposes) • Solute removal index (SRI) from dialysate collections • For more frequent dialysis: a continuous equivalent of kidney clearance • Standard Kt/Vurea • Normalized Kt/Vurea
Maintaining Hemodialysis Adequacy • Preservation of residual renal function • Aggressive Management of HTN • Avoidance of Excessive UF • Avoidance of potential insults to RRF (contrast, medications, infection, volume, contraction)
Lower Kt/V causes • If spKt/V is lower than expected: • Blood flow rate • Duration of treatment • Dialysate flow • Dialyzer specification and KoA • Intradialytic hypotension • Undetected early termination of treatment • Was the anticoagulation adequate? • Was post dialysis blood sampling appropriate? • Was the needle size and placement appropriate and optimal? • Was the blood pump adequately calibrated? • Was the blood pump segment wrong? • Was parenteral nutrition infused during treatment?
