A

slow the progression

24

A

ACEis/ARBs
SGLT2i

29

drug that prevents reabsorption of glucose

A

SGLT2i (-glifozins)

30
Q

every pt who has kidney disease needs to be on what drugs

A

SGLT2i
ACEIs/ARBs

31
Q

diabetic who has kidney disease HbA1c goal

A

b/t 6.5-8

32
Q

what to use to correct acidosis in pt with kidney disease

A

NaHCO3-

33
Q

HCO3- above _____ slows progression of kidney disease

A

22

34
Q

if patient has volume overload in kidney disease, how to treat it

A

limit salt intake
lasix

35
Q

this complication of kidney disease is usually seen when GFR is < 20ml/min (more common in AKI though)

A

hyperkalemia

36
Q

how to treat hyperkalemia

A

low K+ diet
lasix

37
Q

this is commonly seen when GFR is <60 and kidneys lack erythropoietin production

A

anemia

38
Q

Hb goal for patient with CKD

A

10-11 mg/dl

39
Q

associated with CKD b/c PTH is working more to move Ca2+ out of bone to blood

A

mineral bone disease

40
Q

how to manage secondary hyperparathyroidism seen in pt w/ CKD

A

control phosphorus
give active vitamin D
give cinacalcet
remove parathyroid

41
Q

why does secondary hyperparathyroidism happen in pt with CKD

A

kidney unable to produce active vitamin D and there is hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia (PTH works overdrive to compensate)

42
Q

pt presents with twisted hand and perioral numbness after parathyroidectomy

A

Hungry bone syndrome

43
Q

pt has significant sx’s and all organs basically effected (result of uremic toxins in blood)

A

uremia

44
Q

pt w/ CKD with signs and sx’s needs to be referred for what

A

dialysis
transplant

45
Q

2 types of dialysis

A

hemodialysis
peritoneal dialysis

46
Q

when to refer for renal transplant

A

GFR<20 ml/min

47
Q

MoA of cinacalcet

A

decreases PTH and decreases Ca2+ in the serum
