  2. Enoxaparin sodium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoxaparin_sodium

    Elimination: A single dose of a subcutaneous injection of enoxaparin has an elimination half-life of 4.5 hours. [17] Approximately 10–40% of the active and inactive fragments from a single dose are excreted by the kidneys. [17] Dose adjustments based on kidney function are necessary in persons with reduced kidney function. [17]

    Given its renal clearance, LMWH may not be feasible in patients with end-stage renal disease. LMWH can also be used to maintain the patency of cannulae and shunts in dialysis patients. Patients with cancer are at higher risk of venous thromboembolism, and LMWHs are used to reduce this risk. [10]

    For example, gentamicin is an antibiotic that can be nephrotoxic (kidney damaging) and ototoxic (hearing damaging); measurement of gentamicin through concentrations in a patient's plasma and calculation of the AUC is used to guide the dosage of this drug. [3] AUC becomes useful for knowing the average concentration over a time interval, AUC/t.

  5. Kidney dialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_dialysis

    Arterial and venous tubing length is made of minimum length and diameter, a <80 ml to <110 ml volume tubing is designed for pediatric patients and a >130 to <224 ml tubing are for adult patients, regardless of blood pump segment size, which can be of 6.4 mm for normal dialysis or 8.0mm for high flux dialysis in all patients. All dialysis ...

  6. Hemodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodialysis

    Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. This type of dialysis achieves the extracorporeal removal of waste products such as creatinine and urea and free water from the blood when the kidneys are in a state of kidney failure.

  7. Heparin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heparin

    The use of LMWH has allowed once-daily dosing, thus not requiring a continuous infusion of the drug. If long-term anticoagulation is required, heparin is often used only to commence anticoagulation therapy until an oral anticoagulant e.g. warfarin takes effect. The American College of Chest Physicians publishes clinical guidelines on heparin ...

  8. Vitamin and mineral management for dialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_and_mineral...

    Vitamin and mineral management for dialysis patients is a required treatment for people undergoing dialysis because during end-stage kidney disease and dialysis the kidneys are functioning at less than 15% of normal levels. [1] As a consequence, certain vitamin and mineral restrictions and supplementations are needed. [2]

  9. Chronic kidney disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_kidney_disease

    The term "non-dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease" (NDD-CKD) is a designation used to encompass the status of those persons with an established CKD who do not yet require the life-supporting treatments for kidney failure known as kidney replacement therapy (RRT, including maintenance dialysis or kidney transplantation).
