📌 Dialysate is passed through the dialysate compartment of the filter continuously and at a slow rate
📌 Diffusion is the primary method of solute removal
📌 Fluid removal: Usually about 3–6 L per day

Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH): Nadir SBP < 90 👉🏼 strongest association with ⬆️ mortality
📌 Poor long-term Outcomes
📌 ⬆️ mortality
📌 Myocardial stunning
📌 Incidence is highest in those with low pre-HD BP
📌 ⬆️ risk of access thrombosis

Intradialytic Hypotension (IDH): Strategies to help prevent Hypotension during dialysis #Nephpearls #DialysisDirector
HD Catheters: Nominal flow > 400 mL/min (actual flow 350 mL/min) can rarely be obtained and usually flow is limited to a range closer to 300 mL/min

HD Catheters: Order of preference for various sites of insertion
📌 Optimal site is R IJ since venous pathway to the RA is relatively short and straight
📌 Avoid SC Vein due to ⬆️ rate of insertion related complications
📌 L IJ is not optimal

Hemodialysis 101: Apparatus
📌 From the patient, blood is pumped via the vascular access thru an ARTERIAL blood line (INFLOW) to the dialyzer
📌 Blood is returned to the patient from the dialyzer via a VENOUS blood line (OUTFLOW)

The VENOUS PRESSURE can be used to monitor the state of coagulation.
It is a function of:
📌 BFR
📌 Blood viscosity
📌 Downstream access (needle or catheter) resistance
