Chronic Kidney Disease- Das Flashcards
pt presents w/ fatigue and lower extremity swelling; poor appetite, nausea; HA’s; bleeding
BMP: Cr 7, BUN 80; eGFR 10
CKD stage V and uremia
it is manifest only as a biochemical abnormality but, eventually, loss of the excretory, metabolic and endocrine functions of the kidney leads to the clinical symptoms and signs of renal failure, collectively referred to as uremia
CKD
abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for more than 3 months, w/ implications for health
CKD
albuminuria
electrolyte abnormalities
GFR<60
CKD
early increases in serum creatinine leads to _____ changes in GFR
drastic
stage 1 CKD (GFR)
> /= 90
kidney failure (GFR)
<15
signs and sx’s seen when the kidney has failed
Uremia
once the patient begins dialysis, will receive what diagnosis
End Stage Renal Disease
what are the 4 main causes of kidney failure
Diabetic glomerulosclerosis
Hypertensive nephrosclerosis
Glomerular disease
ADPKD
what are the 2 main causes of chronic renal failure
diabetes
HTN
how to measure kidney function
GFR through inulin (creatinine in clinic)
Cr
BUN
GFR/Cr clearance
urine protein/albumin
UA
measure kidney function
one of the key roles of the kidney: to filter plasma so as to excrete waste products and produce urine
GFR
what is the most accurate way to measure GFR
Cr clearance in the clinic
CKD-EPI formula uses patient’s serum Cr and demographics to measure what
GFR
GFR <15 and massive proteinuria=
worst prognosis for CKD
how can you diagnose CKD
Labs (blood, UA)
radiographs
renal biopsy
