acute tubular necrosis
|
type of acute renal failure in which there is actual damage to the kidney tubules
|
|
anuria
|
O < 50 mL / 24 hours
|
|
arteriovenous fistula
|
type of vascular access for dialysis; created by surgically connecting an artery to a vein
|
|
arteriovenous graft
|
type of surgically created vascular access for dialysis by which a piece of biologic, semibiologic, or synthetic graft material connects the patient's artery to a vein
|
|
azotemia
|
concentration of urea and other nitrogenous wastes in the blood
|
|
continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
|
method of peritoneal dialysis whereby a patient performs four or five complete exchanges or cycles throughout the day
|
|
CCPD - continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis
|
method of peritoneal dialysis in which a peritoneal dialysis machine (cycler) automatically performs exchanges, usually while the patient sleeps
|
|
CRRT - continuous renal replacement therapy
|
variety of methods used to replace normal kidney function by circulating the patient's blood through a filter and returning it to the patient
|
|
CVVHD - continuous venovenous hemodialysis
|
form of continuous renal replacement therapy that results in removal of fluid and waste products; venous blood circulates through a hemofilter and returns to the patient
|
|
CVVH - continous venovenous hemofiltration
|
form of continuous renal replacement therapy that primarily results in removal of fluid; venous blood circulates through a hemofilter and returns to the patient
|
|
dialysate
|
solution that circulates through the dialyzer in hemodialysis and through the peritoneal membrane in peritoneal dialysis
|
|
dialyzer
|
"artificial kidney" or dialysis machine; contains a semipermeable membrane through which particles of a certain size can pass
|
|
diffusion
|
movement of solutes (waste products) from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
|
|
end-stage renal disease - ESRD
|
progressive, irreversible deterioration in renal function that results in retention of uremic waste products
|
|
glomerulonephritis
|
inflammation of the glomerular capillaries
|
|
hemodialysis
|
procedure during which a patient's blood is circulated through a dialyzer to remove waste products and excess fluid
|
|
interstitial nephritis
|
inflammation within the renal tissue
|
|
nephrosclerosis
|
hardening of the renal arteries
|
|
osmosis
|
movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration
|
|
peritoneal dialysis
|
procedure that uses the lining of the patient's peritoneal cavity as the semipermeable membrane for exchange of fluid and solutes
|
|
peritonitis
|
inflammation of the peritoneal membrane (lining of the peritoneal cavity)
|
|
pyelonephritis
|
inflammation of the renal pelvis
|
|
ultrafiltration
|
process whereby water is removed from the blood by means of a pressure gradient between the patient's blood and the dialysate
|
|
uremia
|
an excess of urea and other nitrogenous wastes in the blood
|
|
urinary casts
|
proteins secreted by damaged kidney tubules
|
