Chronic Kidney disease and end stage renal disease (Dr. Shepler) Flashcards
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) definition
progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years (defined as abnormalities of kidney structure, present for >3 months with implications for health)
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) definition
the last stage of chronic kidney disease, when the kidneys can no longer support the body’s needs. Dialysis or transplant is needed to stay alive
3 major causes of CKD
diabetes mellitus
hypertension
glomerulonephritis
Other causes of CKD
polycystic kidney disease PKD
HIV nephropathy
CDK classified based on
cause
GFR
albuminuria category
Criteria for CDK
either of the following following present for >3 months
- Markers of kidney damage (one or more):
- albuminuria (AER>=30mg/24hrs; ACR>=30mg/g)
- urine sediment abnormalities
- electrolyte and other abnormalities due to tubular disorders
- abnormalities detected by histology
- structural abnormalities detected by imagine
- history of kidney transplantation
- Decreased GFR: GFR<60ml/min/1.73m2 (GFR cat. G3a-G5)
AER
albumin excretion rate
ACR
albumin to creatinine ratio
G3a GFR
45-59 Mildly to moderately decreased
G3b GFR
30-44 moderately to severely decreased
G4 GFR
15-29 severely decreased
G5 GFR
<15 kidney failure
Albuminuria category A1
<3mg/mmol (ACR)
Albuminuria category A2
30-300mg/24hrs (AER) 3-30mg/mmol (ACR)
Albuminuria category A3
> 300mg/24hrs (AER) >30mg/mmol (ACR)
