Type of fat found in found in animal products like meat, eggs, butter, cheese, and milk. The body needs some cholesterol for organ growth and function, but too much can build up and clog arteries that carry blood around the body. This can cause a heart attack or stroke

kidney stones

kidney failure

retention

oliguria

Peritoneal dialysis patients may do dialysis at home.

True

False

Haemodialysis/Peritoneal dialysis is

Removal of fluids by convection

The removal of solutes by diffusion down a concentration gradient between blood and dialysate

Refers to the combination of both hemodialysis and hemofiltration

Combination of hemodialysis, hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration being applied continuously for days to weeks in patients with AKI

Factors that affect the rate of diffusion are:

Difference in solute concentration between blood and dialysate

Solute characterisitcs

Flow rates of blood and dialysate

All of the above

Up to 10 years

14.

Which of the following are advantages of a kidney transplant, for someone with non-functioning kidneys?
