Question 3

who is more susceptible to chronic kidney disease?

Answer 3

black pop > asian > white

Question 4

definition of CKD (KDIGO)

Answer 4

Abnormality of kidney structure (commonly albuminuria)

	OR

Abnormality of kidney function (commonly decreased GFR)
for > 3 months

Question 5

staging 
g1
g2
g3a
g3b
g4
g5

Answer 5

GFR (mL/min/1.73 m^2)
> or equal to 90 (relatively normal GFR, evidence of known kidney damage)
60 - 89 (relatively normal GFR, evidence of known kidney damage)
45-59
30-44
15-29
< 15 (dialysis)

Question 6

staging - this identifies cause of disease
a1
a2
a3

Answer 6

ACR (mg/g) / AER (mg/day)
<30
30 - 300
>300

Question 7

GFR when considered in the absense of albuminuria (or any stage of albuminuria)

Answer 7

is correlated to adverse complications as dysfunction increases

Question 8

gfr is a stronger predictor of clinical outcomes than

Answer 8

albuminuria

Question 9

presentation of CKD

Answer 9

Asymptomatic

Functional signs and symptoms

• Fluid overload
• Electrolyte accumulation
• Uremia

Question 10

acute vs chronic

Answer 10

acute

• Recent onset
• Marked oliguria or anuria
• Progressive daily increase in creatinine after initial recognition

chronic

• Small kidneys on radiography
• Evidence of renal osteodystrophy
