Dialysis Treatment for Kidney disease By Zachary Jacobson
History • First practiced on animals in early 1900’s • Developed by Dr. Willem Kolff in 1943 • First successful treatment administered in 1945 • In 1950’s Dr. Belding Scribner uses Teflon tubing • Scribner heralded as father of bioethics • Scribner starts first outpatient facility in 1962
Introduction • Function of Kidneys • Nephrons, glomeruli and waste tubules • Hormone secretion support homeostasis • Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease/Failure • Hypertension • Diabetes mellitus (3 types) • Diagnosing KidneyDisease/Failure • Elevated proteins and/or blood in urine • Function of Dialysis • Filter waste and excess fluid from blood
Methods • Dialysis requires surgery to develop access site • 3 types: fistula, graft, catheter • Filter Membrane • Semi-permeable quality allows only smaller materials(i.e. waste) to diffuse across • Larger waste products and excess fluid require ultrafiltration • Dialysate • Composed of sterile water, electrolytes/chemicals and dextrose • Dextrose concentration determines osmotic pressure in PD exchange
How it Works (PD) • Peritoneal Dialysis • Creation of access site • Permenant Peritoneal Catheter • Dialysate drawn into abdominal cavity • Peritoneum acts as filter • Waste stored in dialysate • Dextrose level determines ultrafiltration rate • 2 types: CAPD, CCPD • Dialysate drained from cavity
How it works (HD) • Hemodialysis • Blood filtered outside of body • Dialyser • Filters through synthetic membrane • Thousands of thin hollow fibers • Countercurrent ultrafiltration • Different types of filters • Dialysis Machine • Monitors time, temp, pressure • Blood returned to body through access
Advantages/Disadventages • PD vs. HD • HD uses more predictable membrane • PD is easier to use and more convenient • PD less likely to cause Hypotension • PD may cause trouble breathing • Dialysis patients require special diet and medication to replace hormonal function.
Limitations • PD and HD do not replicate all kidney functions • Access sites can move or become infected • Limited movement • Body image • Time per treatment • Blood clotting • Expensive without health coverage
Future • Shorter Dialysis Time • Increased Efficiency in Filtration • Increased Portability • Recycling of Dialysate • Simultaneous monitoring and introduction of synthetic hormones
