Medical Diagnosis
Lucy Ison
• Patient is diagnosed with stage 5 chronic kidney disease.
Stage 5 CKD mean that the patient have an estimated
glomerular filtration rate or eGFR of less than 15.
Meaning, the kidneys are getting very close to failure or
have completely failed. This disease does not have a cure
but to do a lifetime dialysis based on his doctor's
judgement.

Urinary system anatomy
Kidneys
• Paired structures
• Main functions: regulate volume, composition, and pH of body fluids
• Four processes:
• Filtration- movement of substances from blood to nephron
• Reabsorption- moving substances back into blood
• Secretion- removing select molecules from blood to tubule
• Excretion- filtrate into the bladder
Nephrons
• Each kidney contains about 1 million
• Distal tubules of several nephrons empty into one collecting duct, many
collecting ducts merge
Renal corpuscle
- Capsule
- Glomerulus
Glomerular filtration
• Large volume of water, ions, sugars are filtered out of the blood stream
and into the renal tubule
Glomerular filtration
• 95% water
• Urea, chloride, sodium, other organic and inorganic substances

•Blood test for glomerular filtration rate or GFR: tell how well your
kidneys are working to remove wastes from your blood
•Blood tests. A sample of your blood may reveal rapidly rising levels of urea
and creatinine — two substances used to measure kidney function, also
serum electrolyte test to measure the electrolytes level.

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT:

Kidney transplant
A kidney transplant involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor into
your body.
Kidney transplantation has become the treatment of choice for most patients with
ESKD.
In addition, the cost of maintaining a successful transplantation is one third the
cost of dialysis treatment.
Kidney transplantation is an elective procedure, not an emergency lifesaving
procedure.
Transplanted kidneys can come from deceased or living donors.
•Preoperative management goals
Bringing the patient's metabolic state to a level as close to normal as possible through diet,
possibly dialysis and medical management, making sure that the patient is free of infection,
and preparing the patient for surgery and the postoperative course.
Medical Management
A complete physical examination is performed on the donor and the recipient
Tissue typing, blood typing, and antibody screening are performed
Other diagnostic tests must be completed to identify conditions requiring treatment before transplantation for
either individual.
The lower urinary tract is studied to assess bladder neck function and to detect ureteral reflux.
After surgery, medications to prevent transplant rejection will be prescribed to the transplant recipient.
A psychosocial evaluation is conducted
A psychosocial evaluation is also conducted to assess the organ donor's motive for giving the organ.
If a dialysis routine has been established, hemodialysis is often performed the day before the scheduled
transplantation procedure
NURSING MANAGEMENT:
Preoperative education can be conducted in a variety of settings, including the outpatient preadmission area,
the hospital, or the transplantation clinic during the preliminary workup phase.
Assess the knowledge and feelings about the procedure
The overall goal is to preserve the function of the organs through maintaining hemodynamic stability,
decreasing the risk for infection, and monitoring laboratory values while providing dignified care to the donor
and family members
Postoperative Management
•The goal of postoperative care is to maintain homeostasis until the transplanted kidney is functioning
well. The patient whose kidney functions immediately has a more favorable prognosis than the patient whose
kidney does not.
Medical Management:
After a kidney transplantation, rejection and failure can occur within 24 hours (hyperacute), within 3 to 14
days (acute), or after many years.
A hyperacute rejection is caused by an immediate antibody-mediated reaction that leads to generalized
glomerular capillary thrombosis and necrosis. It requires immediate removal of the transplanted organ
An acute rejection typically occurs within a few days to weeks of the transplant surgery, and the patient
experiences tenderness at the transplant site, a decrease in serum creatinine values, fever, malaise, and it
requires early recognition and treatment with immunosuppressant therapy.
The long-term survival of a transplanted kidney depends on how well it matches the recipient and how well
the body's immune response is controlled.
Combinations of corticosteroids and medications specifically developed
•NURSING MANAGEMENT:
Measure urine output every 30 to 60 minutes initially
Monitor serum electrolytes and renal function test
Assessing the patient for transplant rejections
Preventing infection
Addressing psychological concerns
Monitoring and managing potential complications
Discharge Planning
• Velasquez, Rhealyn B
Instruct the patient to take his medication
exactly as prescribed.
Educate the patient to drink plenty of water.
Educate the patient to maintain a normal blood
pressure.
Advice the patient to maintain a healthy weight.
Advice the patient to limit sodium (salt) and pain
medications.
Advice the patient to avoid alcohol intake and do
not smoke.
Encourage to create an exercise and healthy
eating plan.
