2. OBJECTIVES
Identify adequacy of dialysis and its
components
Discuss K-DOQI Guidelines for
hemodialysis adequacy
Discuss nursing interventions to achieve
adequate dialysis
3. Definition: Hemodialysis Adequacy
The delivered dose of hemodialysis that will optimize the survival and well-being of the patient
Numerous studies have demonstrated a correlation between the delivered dose of hemodialysis and patient mortality and morbidity
4. Components of Hemodialysis Adequacy
Delivered dose of hemodialysis (HD) should be measured at regular intervals no less than monthly
Two components of HD adequacy:
1) Urea Kinetic Modeling (Kt/V)
2) Urea Reduction Ratio (URR)
NKF-KDOQI, 2006, CPG 2
5. Kt/V (Dose of Dialysis)
K = Urea clearance through dialysis
t = Time of dialysis in minutes
V = Volume of urea in proportion to
volume of body water
6. Urea Reduction Ratio (URR) Difference between pre and post BUN
Statistically significant predictor of mortality
URR = PRE BUN- POST BUN X 100
PRE BUN
7. Methods for Dialysis BUN Blood Sampling
Pre/Post dialysis blood samples must be from same session
Avoid dilution of pre BUN sample (with heparin/saline)
NKF-KDOQI, 2006, CPG 3
8. SLOW FLOW/STOP PUMPMETHOD AT COMPLETION OF DIALYSIS:
1) Turn dialysate flow off, decrease UFR to 50 ml/min, lowest TMP or off
2) Decrease BFR to 100 ml/min for 15 seconds
A) Slow Flow: After 15 seconds, leaving blood pump at 100 ml/min, draw BUN sample from port on arterial line. Stop blood pump and terminate treatment per unit protocol.
OR
B) Stop Pump: After 15 seconds, stop pump, clamp arterial and venous blood lines, draw BUN sample from arterial needle tubing, then terminate treatment per unit protocol
9. Minimally adequate HD
HD treatment 3 x week
Kt/V 1.2 or URR 65%
Target dose of HD
Kt/V 1.3 or URR 70%
NKF-KDOQI, 2006, CPG 4
10. Dose of dialysis should not be based solely on the URR and/or Kt/V. Other factors need to be included:
1) Potassium removal
2) Correction of acidosis
3) Sufficient protein/caloric intake to prevent
malnutrition
4) Longer time for fluid removal
11. Control of Volume and Blood Pressure Blood pressure control improves patient outcomes
UF should be optimized with a goal to render the patient euvolemic and normotensive
Restrict Na intake to 2 gms/24 hrs
Increasing positive Na+ balance by Na profiling or using a high dialysate Na+ concentration should be avoided
NKF-KDOQI, 2006, CPG 5
12. Strategies to Minimize Hypotensive Symptoms Avoid excessive UF
Slow the UF rate
Perform isolated UF (SUF)
Manipulate Na levels (modeling)
Decrease dialysate temperature from 37C to 34-35C (need MD order)
Administer midodrine pre dialysis (MD order)
Manage Hemoglobin
Optimize patient behavior through education
13. Interventions: Evaluate elements of HD treatments that may compromise urea clearance Assess for access recirculation
Verify flow of blood through the access (especially if loop graft)
Inadequate blood flow from the access resulting in decreased blood flows
Dialyzer blood leak on day Kt/V and/or BUN drawn
Inefficient dialyzer
DFR set too low
Inadequate coagulation
Inadequate dialyzer reprocessing
14. Review Treatment Documentation on day of Kt/V and URR
Review prescribed treatment vs. actual treatment parameters
Review Blood Flow Rate and Dialysate Flow Rate
15. Assess for Lab and Blood Sampling Errors Lab errors
Dilution of pre BUN with N/S or heparin
Drawing pre BUN after HD initiated
Drawing post BUN before HD completed or drawing sample late (>3 mins. after completion)
Blood lines or needles reversed
16. Assess Reductions in Treatment Times Treatment Week Month Year
