Chronic Kidney Disease Part 1 Flashcards
Hallmark of DM nephropathy
persistent albuminuria > 300 mg/24 hours
DM nephropathy diagnosed clinically if the following are fulfilled
dm retinopathy + absence of clinical or laboratory evidence of other kidney or renal tract disease
urinary albumin excretion of > 30 mg/24 hours and less than 300 mg/24 hours in 2 of 3 samples
microalbuminuria
first pathologic sign in dm nephropathy type 1 dm and proteinuria
glomerular basement membrane thickening
arteriolar hyalinosis usually seen within
3 to 5 years
exudative lesions in type 1 DM nephropathy pathology
arteriolar hyalinosis, bowmans capsular drops, hyaline caps
45-59 ml/min GFR
stage 3a
GFR 30-44
stage 3b
GFR 15-29
stage 4
GFR less than 15
stage 5
BP target in CKD with proteinuria
less than 130/80
BP target if no proteinuria
less than 140/80
education on RRT and hepatitis B vaccination
Stage 4
AVF creation
stage 5
Goal for Acei or ARB treatment
urine protein level < 0.5 g/day
target for weight loss in obese patients
5%
dietary salt restriction
<5 g (90 meqs sodium per day)
protein requirement for normal adults or those with uncomplicated CKD
0.8 g protein/kg/day
CKD patients with complications
0.6 g protein/kg/day or 0.3 g/kg + ketoacids or a mixture of aminoacid
CKD patients with loss of muscle mass
0.8 g protein/kg/day
CKD with proteinuria
< 0.8 g protein/kg/day + 1 g protein/g proteinuria
at least 3 episodes of itch in a 2 week period that causes difficulty for the patient or as itch that occurs over a 6 month period in a regular pattern
pruritus
associated with hyperparathyroidism or elevated Ca x Phos
calciphylaxis
main regulator of systemic iron hoemostasis
hepcidin
increase in PTH secretion immediate effects
increase in 1a hydroxylase activity, bone turnover, ca reabsoprtion
decrease in renal po4 reabsorption
more than 3 rbc/hpf in atleast 2 of 3 freshly voioded midstream clean catch urine
asymptomatic hematuria
most common cause of hematuria in young women
UTI
most common cause of hematuria in older patients
malignancy
gross hematuria more pronounced on initiation
urethral source
gross hematuria more pronounced on termination
bladder neck/prostatic urethra
preferred initial imaging modality
computed tomography
next best initial imaging test
renal ultrasonography
imaging to localize and control source of bleeding
cystoscopy
diagnostic when there is any suspicion of upper tract disease
retrograde pyelography
glomerular hematuria + active urine sediment + wbcs/casts
nephritic syndrome
hallmark of nephritic syndrome
glomerular hematuria
definitive finding in nephritic syndrome
rbc casts
principal underlying abnormality in nephrotic syndrome
increased permeability of the glomerular capillaries
most common underlying systemic disease causing nephrotic syndrome
Diabetes Mellitus
1+ urine dipstick protein is equivalent
30-100 mg/dL
