Evaluation protocol for early fistula failure (1) Step 1. Basic Information of Importance How long since it was created Where is it located What type of fistula is it Use history Has it been used? Have there been problems with use? Step 2. Examination of Anastomosis Feel for thrill (the buzz ) Indicator of flow Strong: good flow Weak: poor flow Systolic and diastolic: good flow Feel for pulse Indicator of downstream resistance Soft: low resistance, no stenosis Hard: high resistance, stenosis present Beathard GA: Seminars in Dialysis Vol 18, No 4 (July August) 2005, pp. 331 335
Evaluation protocol for early fistula failure (2) Step 3. Examination of the Body of the Fistula Over what extent is the fistula visible? Does it seem to disappear? What is fistula s diameter? Large enough to be readily cannulated? What is its depth? Is it there but too deep? Is fistula pulse palpable? Soft: normal Hyperpulsatile: downstream stenosis Check for accessory vein Is one present? Are multiple veins present? Step 4. Check Pulse Augmentation Strength of pulse without occlusion: outflow Strength of pulse with occlusion: inflow If pulse is normal: Augmentation is indicative of inflow If pulse is hyperpulsatile (indicative of stenosis): Degree of augmentation can be used to gauge degree of stenosis No augmentation indicates very severe stenosis Moderate augmentation indicates moderate stenosis Beathard GA: Seminars in Dialysis Vol 18, No 4 (July August) 2005, pp. 331 335
Evaluation protocol for early fistula failure (3) -Physical Examination of AVF- Accessory Vein Physical examination of accessory vein. When the fistula is occluded at point A, the thrill will disappear at the anastomosis (C). As the point of occlusion is moved upward past the accessory vein (D) to point B, the thrill will continue when the fistula is occluded because flow has an escape route. Pulse Augmentation Evaluation of pulse augmentation. The fistula is first completely occluded at point A. The change in pulse intensity (augmentation) is evaluated at point B.

Equilibrated Kt/V (ekt/v) 심평원혈액투석적정성평가설명회 - Prediction of Equilibrating Rate by simple equation - The equilibrated postdialysis BUN can be calculated from an extrapolation of the rebound curve, correcting for urea generation during the rebound period. The resulting BUN is the basis for ekt/vurea, which can be estimated from spkt/vurea using simple Equations.

GUIDELINE 2. Methods For Measuring & Expressing HD Dose 2.1 The delivered dose of HD should be measured at regular intervals no less than monthly. (A) 2.2 The frequency of treatments should be included in the expression of dose. (A) 2.3 The dose of HD should be expressed as (K urea X Td)/V urea (abbreviated as Kt/V), where K urea is the effective (delivered) dialyzer urea clearance in milliliters per minute integrated over the entire dialysis, Td is the time in minutes measured from beginning to end of dialysis, and V urea is the patient s volume of urea distribution in milliliters. (B)
GUIDELINE 2. Methods For Measuring & Expressing HD Dose 2.4 The preferred method for measurement of the delivered dose is formal urea kinetic modeling. Other methods may be used provided they give similar results and do not significantly overestimate the modeled dose. (A) 2.5 Methods described in Appendix can be used to add the continuous component of residual urea clearance to the intermittent dialysis spkt/v to compute an adjusted intermittent Kt/V. Laboratories reporting adjusted session Kt/V values should clearly identify such measurements by a different name (eg, adjusted Kt/V or total Kt/V). (B)
Impact of Ultrafiltration on Delivered Dose of HD Impact of ultrafiltration on delivered dose of HD measured by using spkt/v and URR. The curves are derived from formal single-pool modeling of urea kinetics assuming a 3-hour dialysis, no RKF, and a volume of urea distribution that is 58% of BW. Wt refers to net ultrafiltration losses as a fraction of final BW.
Preferred Measures of the Delivered Dose (in Order of Preference) For 2 or 3 dialysis treatments per wk - Single pool Kt/V urea determined by: Urea kinetic modeling Simplified multivariable equation - Equilibrated Kt/V (ekt/v) - Bloodless measurements of dialyzer clearance using ionic conductance or dialysate urea monitoring - URR - Double pool Kt/V urea by formal kinetic modeling (used only for research purposes) - Solute removal index (SRI) from dialysate collections For more frequent dialysis: a continuous equivalent of kidney clearance - Standard Kt/V urea - Normalized Kt/V urea
GUIDELINE 3. METHODS FOR POSTDIALYSIS BLOOD SAMPLING 심평원혈액투석적정성평가설명회 3.1 Both samples (predialysis and postdialysis) should be drawn during the same treatment session. (A) 3.2 The risk of underestimating predialysis BUN level because of saline dilution or by sampling the blood after treatment has begun should be avoided. (A) 3.3 The risk of underestimating the postdialysis BUN level because of access recirculation (AR) should be avoided by first slowing the blood flow through the dialyzer to a rate at which AR is expected to be minimal (100 ml/min) for a period long enough to ensure that unrecirculated blood has advanced to below the sampling port (usually 15 seconds). (A) 3.4 An alternative method is to stop the dialysate flow for a period long enough to increase the dialysate outlet BUN level close to that of the blood inlet BUN level (3 minutes) before obtaining the postdialysis sample. (A)
Timing the Postdialysis BUN sample Timing the postdialysis BUN sample. Sampling at point B, taking precautions to avoid errors attributed to access recirculation (Access recirc.) and urea rebound, will ensure accuracy and consistency of Kt/V urea measurements. CP recirc. = cardiopulmonary recirculation.
Predialysis Blood Drawing Procedure A. When using an AV fistula or graft Obtain blood specimen from arterial needle (no saline or heparin, before connecting to tubing) B. When using a venous catheter Withdrawn 5ml of locked heparin fluid from arterial port, use new syringe for blood sample
Postdialysis Blood Drawing Procedure * Slow-Blood-Flow Method A. Drawing from blood line sampling port - Set lowest UFR (TMP) & dialysate or off. - Blood flow down to 100mL/min for 15 sec, obtain sample. B. Drawing from arterial needle tubing - Set lowest UFR (TMP) & dialysate or off. - Blood flow down to 100mL/min for 15 sec, then stop the blood pump. - Clamp the arterial tubing, disconnect & obtain sample from arterial needle tubing. * Stop-Dialysate-Flow Method - Turn off dialysate flow & lowest UFR (TMP) or off. - Wait 3 min. (Do not reduce blood flow rate) - Obtain sample from sampling port or arterial needling tubing. (continue the pump speed or sudden stop)
GUIDELINE 4. MINIMALLYADEQUATE HEMODIALYSIS 심평원혈액투석적정성평가설명회 4.1 Minimally adequate dose: The minimally adequate dose of HD given 3 times per week to patients with Kr less than 2 ml/min/1.73 m 2 should be an spkt/v (excluding RKF) of 1.2 per dialysis. For treatment times less than 5 hours, an alternative minimum dose is a URR of 65%. (A) 4.2 Target dose: The target dose for HD given 3 times per week with Kr less than 2 ml/min/1.73 m2 should be an spkt/v of 1.4 per dialysis not including RKF, or URR of 70%. (A) 4.3 In patients with residual urea clearance (Kr) greater than or equal to 2 ml/min/1.73 m 2, the minimum session spkt/v can be reduced. In such patients, the target spkt/v should be at least 15% greater than the minimum dose. (B) 4.4 Missed and shortened treatments: Efforts should be made to monitor and minimize the occurrence of missed or shortened treatments. (B)
ERA-EDTA Best Practice Guidelines 2002 (I) Nephrol Dial Transplant Vol. 17 supplement 7, July 2002 Guideline II.1.1 A. Urea is the most suitable marker for the uraemic toxins in the range of the low MW solutes. (Evidence level: B) Guideline II.1.2 A. HD dose should be expressed in terms of equilibrated Kt/V (ekt/v) with the rate equation based on the regional blood flow two-pool urea kinetic model : ekt/v=spkt/v (0.6XspKt/V/T)+0.03 (with an arteriovenous access) ekt/v=spkt/v-(0.47xspkt/v/t)+0.02 (with a venovenous access, i.e. absence of cardiopulmonary recirculation).
ERA-EDTA Best Practice Guidelines 2002 (II) Nephrol Dial Transplant Vol. 17 supplement 7, July 2002 ~ Guideline II.1.2 C. The value for the single-pool Kt/V (spkt/v) should be derived from the formal single-pool variable volume urea kinetic model (spukm) [42]. As an alternative, the natural logarithm equation provides the most accurate estimate of spkt/v : spkt/v=-ln (Ct/Co 0.008XT) + (4-3.5XCt/Co)XdBW/BW where: K=dialyzer clearance (ml/min); V=urea distribution volume (ml); t, T=treatment time (in minutes and hours, respectively); Co, Ct=start and end-session urea (or BUN) concentration; dbw=intradialytic weight loss (kg); BW=end-session body weight (kg). D. Sampling Ct 30 min after the end of the session and applying the spkt/v equation gives the ekt/v value.
ERA-EDTA Best Practice Guidelines 2002 (III) Nephrol Dial Transplant Vol. 17 supplement 7, July 2002 Guideline II.1.3 A. Based on the available evidence the minimum prescribed HD dose per session for a thrice-weekly schedule should be: urea ekt/v>=1.20 (sp Kt/V~1.4). Twice-weekly schedules are not recommended. (Evidence level: B)
1176 THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE Nov. 12, 1981 EFFECT OF THE HEMODIALYSIS PRESCRIPTION ON PATIENT MORBIDITY Report from the National Cooperative Dialysis Study* E.G. Lowrie, M.D., N.M. Laird, Ph.D., T. F. Parker, M.D., and J.A. Sargent, Ph.D. Abstract This report summarizes morbidity in 151 patients in a coopertive trial ~ The data indicate that the occurrence of morbid events is affected by the dialysis prescription. Increased morbidity appears to accompany prescriptions associated with a relatively high BUN. Conversely, morbidity may be decreased by prescriptions associated with more efficient removal of urea if the dietary intake of protein and other nutrients is adequate. (N Engl J Med. 1981; 305: 1176-81.)
HEMO Study (I) 심평원혈액투석적정성평가설명회 N Engl J Med 2002;347:2010-9 Conclusions : Patients undergoing hemodialysis thrice weekly appear to have no major benefit from a higher dialysis dose than that recommended by current U.S. guidelines or from the use of a high-flux membrane.
