Q

Pathophys of CKD?

A

L clearance of certain solutes principally excreted by the kidney results in their retention in body fluids

Reduction in renal mass (nephron destruction)

  • hypertrophy of remaining nephrons

21
Q

CKD and CHF?

A

A chain of events

CKD causes HTN (RAAS stimulation), volume overload, anemia

  • Lead to higher cardiac workload
  • accelerated atherosclerosis

contributes to LVH and HF

22
Q

uremic pericarditis presentation?

A

S/s - pleuritic chest pain/fever
PE - pulsus paradoxus and friction rub
ECG - low voltage, electrical alternans
CXR - enlarged cardiac silhouette

23
Q

Pericarditis is?

A

An absolute indication for hemodialysis and hospitalization

24
Q
CKD pts (esp those w DM) will likely die from
?
A

CVD is much more likely than ESRD

CKD - look at heart
Heart disease - look at kidney

25
Q

Low GFR and small kidneys have what effect on mineral metabolism?

A

Osteitis fiberosa cystica (H PTH)
Adynamic bone disease (L PTH)
Osteomalacia (L vit D)

26
Q

MC mineral disorder from CKD?

A

Osteitis fibrosa cystica

- secondary hyperparathyrodism -> osteoclast stimulating effects of PTH

27
Q

Why does CKD lead to bone problems?

A

Hserum phosphorus (hyperphosphatemia

L vitamin D -> (hypercalcemia)

H PTH (secondary hyperparathyrodism) -> Renal osteodystrophy (bone disease)

28
Q

Tx for mineral metabolism do?

A

Hyperphosphatemia control

  • phosphorus restriciton
  • phosphorus binding agents

Hyperparathyrodism tx

  • vit D
  • Calcitriol
29
Q

Hematologic complications of CKD?

A

Anemia - normochromic, normocytic

  • low erothropoietin
  • low iron absorption

Coagulopathy

  • platelet dysfunction
  • > petechia/purpura
  • > bleeding
30
Q

Dialysis effect on bleeding?

A

Improves bleeding time but doesnt normalize it

31
Q

CKD and hyperkalemia?

A

Potassium balance remains intact until GFR < 10-20ml/Min (CKD stages 4-5)

32
Q

Acute hyperkalemia needs?

A
  • Cardiac monitoring
  • IV calcium chloride or gluconate
  • Insulin w glucose
  • Bicarbonate
  • Sodium polystyrene sulfonate
33
Q

Chronic Hyperkalemia needs?

A
  • Dietary potassium restriction

- Sodium polystyrene PRN

34
Q

Damaged kidneys lead to what acid-base do?

A

Inadequate acid (H+) excretion -> metabolic acidosis

35
Q

Acid-base d/o tx?

A

Maintain/normalize serium bicarb level: >21 mEq/L
- alkali suppliments

Keep pH >7.20

36
Q

Neurologic complications?

A

Uremic encephalopathy - GFR <5-10

Peripheral neuropathies

37
Q

Endocrine complications of CKD?

A

H insulin (hypoglycemia)

L libido and ED (common)

38
Q

CKD management

A
Tx underlying cause 
- esp DM
Meds
- ACEI/ARB, statin, diuretics
Consult
- CKD clinics (goal - stay off dialysis)
Pt eduction
- smoking 
Diet restrictions
- protein
- salt/water
- k+
- phosphorous
39
Q

CKD pts need to be evaluated by?

A

Nutritionist

40
Q

Once CKD -> ESRD pts need?

A

RRT - renal replacement therapy

  • hemodialysis
  • peritoneal dialysis
  • kidney transplant
41
Q

Indications for RRT?

A
GFR <5-10
Uremic symptoms (pericarditis, coagulatpathy etc)
Fluid overload
Refractory hyperkalemia >7
Severe metabolic acidosis (pH <7.2)
Neurologic symptoms
BUN >100
42
Q

Problems w hemodialysis?

A

Vascular access complications
- infection, thrombosis, aneurysim

3 sessions/wk - 3-5 hrs each (15hrs/wk)

43
Q

What is peritoneal dialysis?

A

Peritoneal dialysis is a type of dialysis that uses the peritoneum in a person’s abdomen as the membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the blood.

44
Q

types of peritoneal dialysis?

A

CAPD - continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis

  • MC type
  • pt swaps bags out throughout the day

CCPD - continusous cyclic peritoneal dialysis
- machine works at night

45
Q

Which type of kidney transplant is best?

A

Living donor is much better

1 yr survival

  • 95% living donor
  • 89% deceased

5 yr

  • 80% living donor
  • 66% deceased
46
Q

Life expectancy for dialysis pts?

A

5 yr survival?
- 40%

Average life expectancy 3-5 yrs (though sometimes up to 25 yrs)

47
Q

Causes of death for CKD pts?

A

Cardiac disease (50%)
Infection
Cerebrovascular disease
Malignancy

48
Q

Bottom line for CKD pts?

A

Medical care is based on delaying/halting CKD progression

49
Q

With CKD pts always?

A

Be cognizant of necessary dose adjustments when prescribing meds

50
Q

Dont worry

A

Urine good hands
