Terms Used in Dialysis • Diffusion • Convection • Ultrafiltration • Clearance 100 ml/min 100mg/dl 100 ml/min 50 mg/dl Clearance=50 ml/min 100 ml/min 100mg/dl 100 ml/min 10 mg/dl Clearance=90 ml/min
Options for RRT • Hemodialysis • 3X a week for 3-4 hours • diffusive clearance with ultrafiltration of water • faster blood flow rates=less hemodynamic stability • CRRT(Hemodiafiltration) • a continuous process • used on critically ill patients in US • more convective clearance • lower blood flow rates and smaller filter=greater hemodynamic stability • Peritoneal Dialysis • peritoneal membrane used as semipermeable membrane • batch process
Description of Hemodialysis • Primarily diffusion • Dialysate • looks like blood of healthy patient • 3X week for 3-4 hours • Blood and dialysate flows are fast • QB=500 ml/min • QD=800 ml/min
Membrane(Dialyzer) • Hollow Fiber Design • Biologic vs synthetic • Reuse • Terms • Biocompatibility • High efficiency • High flux
Access • Difficult • Trade Offs • rapidity of use • chance of infection • patient comfort • need for addl procedures
Access(PermCath) • Use immediately • No needle sticks • High infection rate • High recirculation
Access(AV Graft) • Use in 2-3 weeks • Some infection risk • 2 needle sticks • low recirculation • numerous interventions to keep open
Access(AV Fistula) • 3-18 months to use • Minimal infection risk • Can last a lifetime
Anticoagulation • Blood clots • Heparin • discovered in 1926 • Partial clotting • limits diffusion • reduces surface area • Access must stop bleeding • Calcium • required for clotting
Dialysis Machine • Blood Circuit • anticoagulate • deliver blood to membrane • safely return blood to patient • Dialysate Circuit • deliver dialysate at proper temperature, concentration, and pH • control ultrafiltration
Dialysis Machine(Blood Circuit) • Roller pump • Heparin syringe pump • 2 air traps • Air detector • Venous line clamp
Dialysis Machine(Dialysate Circuit) • Warm, deaerate, mix concentrates, monitor conductivity and pH, pump • Detect blood leaks • Generate and monitor ultrafiltration
Urea Clearance • ?Urea = uremic toxin? • Diffusion • Urea: MW=60 (small) • KoA • Clearance of urea of 250ml/min • Native kidneys provide urea clearance of about 90-110ml/min
Clearance of Other Solutes • Urea(MW 60), creatinine(MW 113), B12 (MW=1355), ß2 microglobulin (MW=11,800), albumin (MW=80,000) • Middle molecules • Diffusion not effective
Hemofiltration • Convection to clear larger molecules • Replacement fluids without removed solute • Costly
Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy(CRRT) • Critically ill ICU patients • low BP • can’t tolerate large QB or large filter • often can’t be systemically anticoagulated • Continuous • low clearances but runs 24/7 • Anticoagulation • regional anticoagulation instead of systemic • Combine hemodialysis and hemofiltration • hemodiafiltration • increases clearances even of middle molecules • continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration(CVVHDF)

Peritoneal Dialysis(PD) • Salmon dialysis • Peritoneal membrane • Capillaries • Diffusion, ultrafiltration( ie osmosis), convection, and absorption
PD Membrane • Pd Membrane • surface area=BSA=1-2 m2 • heteroporus, heterogeneous semipermeable membrane with complex physiology • Blood Flow • approx. 50-100 ml/min • 3 pore model • large pores(macromolecules like proteins) • small pores(small solutes) • ultrapores(aquaporins)(water without solute)
PD Ultrafiltration • Dextrose(3 concentrations) added to provide gradient for UF(osmosis) • Glucose diffuses into blood and diminishes gradient • Absorption of dialysate occurs limiting UF • Newer agents
PD Clearance • High Transporters • dialyze well • ultrafilter poorly • ? Icodextran ? • best with freq. short dwells • High Avg/Low AVG transporters • Low Transporters • ultrafilter well • dialyze poorly • best with longer short dwells • Options • CAPD • CCPD
Future • Which separation techniques improve mortality • Less expensive RRT as population grows • Improve patients quality of life • Biological systems
