Chronic Kidney Disease Part 2 Flashcards
one or both: abnormalities of ca, phos, PTH, vitamin D metabolism; abnormalities in bone turnover, mineralization, volume, linear growth or strength, vascular or other soft tissue calcification
CKD-MBD
alteration of bone morphology in patients with CKD, one measure of skeletal component
renal osteodystrophy
most important regulator of intestinal absorption of Phos
high dietary Phos
major site of intestinal calcium absorption
duodenum
vitamin D independent nonsaturable pathway
paracellular pahtway
vitamin D dependent, saturable pathway
transcellular pathway
inactivation of CaSR: Calcium and PTH
decrease in Calcium, increase PTH secretion
most important determinant of minute to minute secretion of PTH From stored secretory granules
extracellular concentration of ionized calcium
major source of the circulating levels of calcitriol
kidney
circulating factors that regulate phos excretion
phosphatonins - FGF23 and MEPE
surrogate of bone turnover in patients with CKD
PTH
bone turnover, microarchitecture, microfractures and mineralization
bone quality
alignment of strands of collagen has an irregular woven pattern
osteitis fibrosa cystica
histologically by absence of cellular activity, osteoid formation and endosteal fibrosis
low turnover (adynamic bone disease)
excess of unmineralized osteoid, wide osteoid seams, decreased mineralization rates
osteomalacia
bone biopsies with secondary hyperparathyroidism with mineralization defect: extensive osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity and increased endosteal peritrabecular fibrosis
mixed uremic osteodystrophy
assess the presence or absence of vascular calcification
plain radiographs
Vit D deficiency
less than 10 ng/mL
vit D insufficiency
10-30 ng/mL
decreased stratum corneum hydration and abnormal eccrine gland function
xerosis
mainstay of treatment of xerosis
hydration of skin
cause of hyperpigmentation
increased melanin production, inc B melanocyte stimulating hormone
mainstay of treatment of calciphylaxis
supportive and preventive measures
calcium deposits in the tissue
metastatic calcification
