Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease, also known as kidney failure, is the progressive loss of kidney function. The function of these organs is to filter waste and excess water from the blood to eliminate it through urine. When kidney disease reaches its most advanced stages, kidney function becomes insufficient to maintain life and quality of life.

Chronic kidney disease is silent since it does not have symptoms and these can appear until the advanced stages.

Some risk factors for kidney failure are:

  • Obesity.
  • Diabetes.
  • High pressure.
  • Smokers.
  • Family background.
  • Cardiovascular diseases.

What is Hemodialysis?

Hemodialysis is a process that consists of cleaning your blood using a special type of filter called a dialyzer. To achieve this, it is necessary to create a special vascular access point through a minor surgery usually performed on the arm to allow chronic dialysis treatment, this may be through a catheter or the creation of an internal arteriovenous fistula (IAVF).

During treatment, the blood is cleaned with the dialyzer. The cleaning process does not cause any pain and during the first sessions, most patients show an improvement in their symptoms. Normally you will undergo hemodialysis two or three times a week with an average session of 3-4 hours for each treatment, depending on your physician’s indications.

There are three types of access in hemodialysis:

Fistula and Graft

It is done by joining an artery to a nearby vein under the skin to form a larger blood vessel. This type of access is recommended because it has fewer problems and lasts longer. A fistula should be placed early (several months before starting dialysis) so it has a long time to heal and is ready to use when you start hemodialysis. You must be assessed by a specialist called a vascular surgeon at least six months before starting dialysis.

If the blood vessels are not suitable for a fistula, a graft can be used. This involves joining an artery and a nearby vein with a small, soft, synthetic tube. The graft is completely under the skin.

Autologous fistula: when the blood vessels are not suitable for the construction of a fistula, this can be achieved by placing a graft.

Catheter

It is a tube of special synthetic material that is placed into a large vein in the body, usually one of the jugular veins that run from the neck to the chest. Catheters can also be used as permanent access when it is not possible to place a fistula or when due to specific circumstances it is considered the best option for the patient.

Dialysis treatment

Tratamiento clinica de salud renal

After the fistula or graft has healed and dialysis begins, two needles will be placed into your blood vessels each time you have treatment. The needles will then be attached to soft plastic tubes. A tube carries the blood from the needle to the dialyzer (the artificial kidney), where it is cleaned. The clean blood returns to you through the other tube.

Blood tests and clinical follow-ups should be performed monthly by the nephrologist. These are very important because they let your healthcare team know how well you are and if any changes need to be made to your diet, your medications, or even the amount of time you spend on the dialysis machine.
