career goal in life. As soon as I got licensed, I submitted my application to a few dialysis companies, more than several times, to increase my chances of getting my online application noticed.

I have been in this specialty for over two years now and I still get asked, “Why are you a dialysis nurse? It’s like a retirement nursing job. Isn’t it boring?”, “Don’t you want to

barriers to care, and safety concerns. All of her primary care patients have maintained a goal of 100% for dialysis adequacy (benchmark is 85%) and a vascular access rate of 100% and dictated by KDOQI standards. Deirdre noted a downward trend of a veteran pts access. With quick intervention the access resulted in a patent access with better clearances for this patient, and the preservation of the dialysis access. During the transitioning process to the new hemodialysis unit, Ms. Conlon anticipated the

Of the newly reported cases, 88.2% of individuals with ESRD started renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis (HD) while 9% began peritoneal dialysis (PD), and 2.6% received a kidney transplant.

Paper I: Predictive Value of Cardiac Troponin I and T for Subsequent Death in End-Stage Renal Disease Fred S. Apple, PhD; MaryAnn M. Murakami, BA; Lesly A. Pearce, MS; Charles A. Herzog, MD This is the study done by Apple et al, whose aim was to determine if an increased troponin was predictor of death in patients with ESRD and it also proved prevalence of raised troponin t and troponin i in ESRD patients. It is the largest study done till date on ESRD patients showing the relationship with troponin

disease. Patient will increase severity of uremic and suffer from clinical manifestations of azotemia when GFR drop to less than 25% of normal (Schrier, 2010). When GFR drop to less than 15ml Stage 5 CKD patient need to be undergo renal replacement therapy, either dialysis or renal transplant in order to avoid complication such as uremic and fluid overload. Whenever there is an injury occurs to the kidney, reduction of nephron number will be result from compensatory of glomerular haemodynamic changes

kidney failure are a medical emergency and call for intervention such as a kidney transplant. The wait for a kidney can be lengthy; therefore a process known as dialysis can be a life sustaining measure until a suitable donor is matched. Dialysis has been found to temporarily alleviate the condition, but only for an average
