What would you assess during a follow-up counseling session? When should this occur?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

What are the treatment options for Stage 5 CKD? Explain the differences between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

 Accurate measurement of height and weight, plotted on CDC Growth Chart
 24-hour recall with either FFQ or food record
 Identify areas that have been changed and can be changed
 Patient's and parents' motivation to change
 Physical activity record/recall
- type of physical activity adolescent participates in
- type of physical activity parents participate in
- time spent watching TV, video games, or on computer
 Real or perceived limitations
 Body image
 Ethnic or religious practices and beliefs related to food
 Use of vitamins, supplements, and alcohol or drugs by patient
 Lab values (lipid profile/glycemic control) if available

 Weekly visits/follow-ups lasting 8-12 weeks lead to the most effective outcomes. (Once every 2-3 weeks may be more realistic)

Answer to Question 2

 Hemodialysis
 Peritoneal dialysis (2 types)
 Renal transplantation
 Hemodialysis attempts to mimic the filtration function of the body
- Dialysate fluid is designed to be similar to human plasma
- Patient's blood is pumped through a capsule of microscopic semipermeable membranes over several hours
- This is repeated approximately three times each week
- Using the concept of diffusion or osmosis, waste products are pulled from the blood into the dialysate
- Composition of the dialysate is determined by patient's individual laboratory parameters, and can be adjusted to osmolality and electrolyte content
 There are two main types of peritoneal dialysis (PD):
- Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
- Continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD)
 In peritoneal dialysis, access to the patient's blood supply is gained via a catheter of silicone rubber or polyurethane, placed surgically into the peritoneum
 In this procedure, dialysate is introduced into the peritoneum through the peritoneal catheter
 Solutes from the plasma circulating in the vessels and capillaries perfusing the peritoneal wall pass across the peritoneal membrane into the dialysate, which is subsequently removed and discarded
