CKD Flashcards
a spectrum of different pathophysiologic
processes associated with abnormal kidney
function and a progressive decline in GFR
Chronic Kidney Disease
ESRD results to
UREMIC SYNDROME
(dialysis or transplantation)
pathophysiology of CKD
- initiating mechanisms specific to the
underlying etiology
abnormalities in kidney development, immune complex deposition,
inflammation, toxin exposure - set of progressive mechanisms
(hyperfiltration and hypertrophy) with long term reduction in renal mass
increase pressure and flow—- distortion of glomerular architecture,
abnormal podocyte function, disruption of filtration barrier— sclerosis and drop
out of the remaining nephrons
maladaptive
Decrease nephron numbers
- vasoactive hormones,
- cytokines,
- growth factors
Risk Factors for CKD
- small for gestational birth weight
- childhood obesity
- hypertension
- diabetes
- autoimmune disease
- advanced age
- African ancestry
- family hx of kidney disease
- AKI
- Proteinuria/sediment
- structural abnormalities
- Mendelian: ADPKD
Leading Categories of Etiologies of CKD
- Diabetic nephropathy
- Glomerulonephritis
- Hypertension
- Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
- Other cystic and tubulointerstitial nephropathy
