DIALYSIS
FACULTY OF MEDICINEISLAMIC UNIVERSITY OF MALANG
Dialysis is the process of removing waste products and excess fluids from the body
Definitions
Dialysis is on of the primary modalities for pts with RF
Dialysis can do two of the principal functions of the kidney; 1. removal of endogenous waste products 2. maintenance of water balance
Dialysis is the process of separating elements in a solution by diffusion across a semipermeable membrane (diffusive solute transport) down a concentration gradient
This is the principal process for removing the end-products of nitrogen metabolism (urea, creatinine, uric acid), and for repletion of the bicarbonate deficit of the metabolic acidosis associated with renal failure in humans
Cont…
Advanced renal failure with:
1. Hyperkalemia
2. Fluid overload
3. Severe metabolic acidosis (PH<2)
4. Pericarditis
5. Encephalopathy
6. Pulmonary oedema

Hemodialysis
• Blood is removed from the body and pumped by a machine outside the body into a dialyzer (artificial kidney)
• The dialyzer filters metabolic waste products from the blood and then returns the purified blood to the person
• The total amount of fluid returned can be adjusted• A person typically undergoes hemodialysis at a
dialysis center• Dialysate is the solution used by the dialyzer
Cont…
• HD consists of perfusion of heparinized blood and physiologic salt solution on opposite sides of a semipermeable membrane
• Waste products (urea, creatinine,…ets) move from blood into the dialysate by passive diffusion along concentration gradient
• Diffusion rate depends on;1. The difference between solute concentrations in the
blood and dialysate
2. Solute characteristics
3. Dialysis filter composition
4. Blood and dialysate flow rate
Cont…
Blood from the patient is circulated through a synthetic extracorporeal membrane and returned to the patient. The opposite side of that membrane is washed with an electrolyte solution (dialysate) contain- the normal constituents of plasma water

Used 3 times a week
Duration; 4 hrs
Complicated, need to be done in a center
Heparin required
Temporary arteriovenous access
Permanent arteriovenous access
Access
The access is where the needles are placed to remove blood from the body and return it to the body after it is filtered by the dialysis machine
Three types of accesses exist: natural fistula, artificial grafts, and jugular vein catheters
A vein and an artery are joined. Within 6 to 8 weeks, the vein becomes much bigger and is strong enough to be used as an access for dialysis
Cont…
How a fistula access works 1. During dialysis, two needles are placed into the fistula. One needle will remove the blood so it can be cleaned. The other needle will return filtered blood to the body
2. The needles are attached by plastic tubing to a special filter called a dialyzer (or artificial kidney)
3. A pump pushes the blood through the dialyzer. Blood passes on one side of the filter, and solution made by the machine passes on the other side. The blood does not mix with the solution. Instead, the solution pulls extra fluid and waste out of the blood by a process called dialysis
4. The "clean" blood returns through the plastic tube. It passes back into the patient's body through the second needle
Cont…
A graft is another type of access, which is used if a person's own veins are too small or weak to create a fistula. Usually, a graft is a soft, synthetic tube that connects to an artery at one end and a vein at the other. It is placed under the skin of the arm or thigh, like a natural vein. The patient's blood flows through it, like it flows through natural veins
Cont…
Sometimes hemodialysis is needed right away, and there is no time to create a fistula or graft. If this happens, a tube called a catheter may be inserted into a large vein in the neck (jugular vein), behind the collarbone (subclavian vein) or in the groin (femoral vein). The patient's blood can flow through this tube

Standard HDCharacteristics:1. Low permeability (low flux)
2. Membranes are made of natural products (cellulose)
3. Each session takes 4-5 hrs
Rapid high efficiency HD (RHED)Characteristics:1. Increase clearance of low molecular weight
solutes (urea)
2. Shorter procedure time
3. Increase blood and dialysate flow rates
4. Clearance of middle and high MW solutes including drugs is not increased
High flux dialysis (HFD)Characteristics:1. Shares the advantages of RHED
2. Membrane pores are more open
3. Higher clearance rate for middle molecules
4. More expensive
5. Needs experts to avoid large rapid fluid shift
Peritoneal Dialysis
Cont…
The dialysis membrane is the person's own peritoneum
The dialysis fluid provides the 'container' in which waste products and excess water can be removed from the body
Dialysis membrane acts as a filter
It keeps the dialysis fluid and the blood separate from each other, but it allows certain substances and water to pass through it
During dialysis, waste toxins and excess water pass from the blood into the dialysis fluid, and this is drained out of the body after a few hours
A new bag of dialysis fluid is drained in, and the process is repeated
Cont… Cont…
PD needs to be done every day
PD involves draining dialysis fluid out of, and into the body (known as an exchange), and leaving dialysis fluid in the body while dialysis takes place
Draining fluid out usually takes around 20 minutes and draining fluid in takes around 5-10 minutes
The 'used' dialysis fluid, containing the water and waste (toxins) that the kidneys would normally have passed into the urine, is drained out of the body
The person then needs to drain between 1.5 and 3 litres of 'new' dialysis fluid into their abdomen
Cont…
The dialysis fluid is then left inside the peritoneum to allow dialysis to take place. The length of time it is left there varies (between 1 and 8 hours), depending on individual requirements and the type of PD
There are no 'set' times to carry out the exchanges
It is easy for people to adapt the timing of exchanges to their own needs. For example, if a person wants to go out for the day, they could
delay the mid-day exchange, and do two 'quick bags' (say, 3 hours apart) after they come home
Cont…
A four-bag regime 'fits' into a typical dayFor example, • The first bag might be exchanged before breakfast• The second before lunch• The third before the evening meal• The fourth before going to bed (leaving the fluid
for the last exchange in through the night)
Cont…
A plastic tube is permanently inserted into the abdomen
This tube is called a PD catheter
It is about 30 cm (12 in) long and as wide as a pencil
The PD catheter is placed through the lower abdominal wall, into the peritoneal cavity
Half of the catheter lies inside the abdomen, and half lies outside the body
It comes out to one side of the navel (belly button)
The PD catheter acts as a permanent pathway into the peritoneal cavity from outside the body
Cont…
Cont…
The catheter is usually 'left alone' for 5 days or more after the operation before it is used for dialysis
This allows it to 'settle in' and gives the abdominal wound time to heal
PD could be done at home
Much less efficient than HD, this is why it is used more frequent

Pharmacokinetics of dialysis
Factors affecting drug dialysability;1. Drug characteristicsA. MW; drugs with MW >500 are not dialyzable in
the conventional HD. E.g vancomicin, digoxin
Using high flux HD; the above mentioned drugs are dialyzable
B. Water solubility; solutes which are insoluble in water will not easily move into aqueous dialysate, e.g glutethimide
D. Volume of distribution; drugs with large VD are not appreciably removed by HD, e.g digoxin, aminoglycosides
E. Protein binding; only unbound drugs can pass through the dialyser membrane, e.g phenytoin, propranolol, oxacillin

B. Blood flow rate
C. Dialysate flow rate
3. Membrane characteristicsA. Thickness
B. Material type / pore size
C. Surface area
Cont…
Clearance of large MW drugs depends on pore size, surface area and flow rate

Therapeutic considerations1. Supplementary dose should be administered post
dialysis. If the drug is administered at the beginning of HD, the fraction would be removed, since it is not yet distributed in the body
2. Drugs with NTW, plasma level should be monitored to verify the predicted estimation
3. Drugs with wide therapeutic window, decision based on pt’s clinical status
4. Blood sample should be drawn at least 1 hr post dialysis to allow redistribution from the tissue, other references recommend 6-12 hrs post dialysis
5. Drugs which plasma concentration can be measured but some times no published data on the pharmacokinetic of certain drugs. if the pharmacokinetics are known then replacement dose could be calculated
6. Drugs with wide therapeutic range and serum concentration cannot be measured; single daily dose can be administered after dialysis
Categories of drug dialyzability;
1. Dialyzable; 50% - 100% removed
2. Moderately dialyzable; 20% - 50% removed
3. Slightly dialyzable; 5% - 20% removed
4. Not dialyzable; <5% removed
Estimating the supplementary dose in dialysis pt
1. The supplementary doses can be calculated from the pharmacokinetic data reported in the literature
2. The equations and pharmacokinetic utilized are based only on linear first order kinetics and one compartment model
3. More complex kinetics seem to be unnecessary for general dosage recommendations for repeatedly administered drugs
4. For pts on dialysis; the total clearance of the drog from the plasma (ClT) can be defined as the sum of the pt’s residential endogenous clearance and the dialysis clearance (ClD)
i.e ClT = Cl + ClD
If ClD >>>Cl then the drug will be eliminated much more rapidly during dialysis
t1/2 0.693 X VDClT
=
Clearance can be related to half life by the following equation
t1/2 0.693 X VDCl + ClD
=
VD is the volume of distribution of the drug
The actual amount of drug removed by HD is the product of the concentration of the drug in the recovered dialysate and the dialysate volume
XAmount in dialysate
drug conc. in dialysate
volume of the dialysate=
It is not clinically feasible or analytically practical to measure dialysate drug concentration
This value divided by total body stores of drug prior to dialysis yield the actual fraction of drug removed by dialysis (FD)
FD = amount of dialysate drug / TBs
TBS = drug conc. X VD
The following equation may be used to determine the fraction of the total amount of drug in the body removed during dialysis
FD = 1 - e -(Cl+ClD)(t/VD)
t is the duration of dialysis
To use this equation, the values of Cl, ClD must be obtained from the literature
Unfortunately, clearance dtat are not always available
Half life is more available, so we use another equation
FD = 1 - e -(0.693/t1/2 OD) X (t)
t1/2 OD is the half life during dialysis
t is the duration of dialysis
This method can be used to calculate the fractional drug removed but it is inaccurate
But it is useful in the clinical setting when clearance data is not available
Example:
NN on amikacin, Wt 70 kg
Estimated amikacin Cl 5ml/min (endogenous clearance)
Under go 4 hr HD (t OD = 4hrs)
Calculate the replacement dose for NN??
Assuming VD= 0.2 L/Kg
ClD = 35 ml/min
Answer:
ClT = Cl + ClD
= 5 + 35 = 40 ml/min = 2.4 L/hr
t1/2 0.693 X VDCl + ClD
=
Then
= 0.693 X 0.2L/Kg X 70 Kg2.4 L/hr
= 4 hrs
FD = 1 - e -(Cl+ClD)(t/VD)
Or
FD = 1 - e -(0.693/t1/2 OD) X (t)
After we get the answer. It will be replaced after dialysis
