30
Q

symptoms associated with kidneys no longer producing enough erythropoietin

34
Q

blood pressure control in CKD

A

–ACE or ARB

35
Q

lipid control in CKD

A

statins as needed; diet control

36
Q

how to treat volume overload in CKD

A

loop diuretic; low-salt diet

37

38
Q

how to treat metabolic acidosis in CKD

A

–sodium bicarb
–alkaline agent

39
Q

how to treat hyperphosphatemia in CKD

40
Q

how to treat renal osteodystropy in CKD

41
Q

how to treat anemia in CKD

A

to treat metabolic acidosis

44

treat hyperphosphatemia

49

A

binds to phosphate

50
Q

goals of calcium carbonate

A

–keep normal phosphate levels
–decrease mortality

51
Q

adverse effects of calcium carbonate

A

hypercalcemia –> monitor calcium levels

52

A

with meals

53
Q

purpose of calcitriol

A

treat renal osteodystrophy

54
Q

MOA of calcitriol

A

–activated form of vitamin D
–stimulate intestinal absorption of calcium/phosphate and bone mineralization

55
Q

adverse effects of calcitriol

A

–hypercalcemia
–hyperphosphatemia

56
Q

drug therapy in CKD specifics

A

–many kidneys are excreted through the kidneys
–drug doses and frequency may be adjusted (renal dosing)

57
Q

drugs of concern with CKD

A

–digoxin
–diabetic agents (metformin)
–antibiotics (vanc)
–opioids (morphine)

58
Q

concern with opioids in CKD patients

A

greater chance of respiratory distress because the drug doesn’t leave their system as quickly
