Chronic kidney injury Pt 1 Flashcards
CKD definition
progressive loss of renal function over time
what is CKD clinically based on
GFR and creatinine
diagnosis of CKD requires
decline in kidney function over 3 months and
evidence of kidney damage or GFR <60
End stage kidney disease=
when kidney function is insufficient to maintain life without RRT
main causes of CKD (5)
- diabetes
- hypertension
- PKD
- GN
- recurrent UTIs
signs/symptoms of CKD
hypertension azotaemia hyperkalaemia metabolic acidosis anaemia hypocalcaemia
what type of anaemia in CKD
normochromic normocytic due to lack of EPO
metabolic acidosis causes
SOB
hypocalcemia due to
vitamin D deficiency
stage G1 =
> 90
stage 2=
60-89
stage 3a
45-59
stage 3b
30-44
stage 4
15-29
stage 5
<15
management of CKD stage 1/2 without uremia
ACEi or ARB
statin
diuretics
Calcium channel blocker
name 2 non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers
Diltiazem
Verapamil
danger of ACEi and spironolactone
hyperkalaemia
additions for management of stage 3/4
- Ezetimibe
- additional antihypertensives- thiazides, spironolactone, beta blockers
- EPO stimulating agent
- iron supplements
- calcitriol
- oral bicarbonate
calcitrol=
active 1,25 vitamin D therapy
treatment of stage 5 ESRD
dialysis or kidney transplant
when is oral bicarbonate indicated
when bicarbonate levels lower than 15mmol/L
Azotaemia in CKD due to
impaired function of the kidney urea is not effectively filtered and removed
3 consequences of raised urea
pruitus
encephalopathy
N&V
only way to treat uremia
dialysis
why anaemia in CKD
lack of EPO
treatment of anaemia in CKD
IV EPO stimulating agent
Bp target for people with CKD
<130/80
why oedema in CKD
due to proteinuria and blood hypoalbuminemia decreasing blood osmolarity
treatment of oedema
IV furosemide
