CKD Flashcards
2 mc causes of CKD
DM
HTN
5 labs used to evaluate CKD
SCr
albuminuria/ACR
GFR
BUN
K+
what lab is specific and pathognomonic for CKD
albuminuria
what lab value is very good at detecting early CKD
albuminuria
what lab value is good at monitoring chronicity of CKD
SCr
doubling = 50% decrease in renal fxn
what 3 labs are used to stage CKD
GFR
CrCl
ACR
GFR is based off of what lab
SCr
goal of tx for CKD
halt progression of renal dz
goal of tx for T2DM
improve glycemic control
decrease CV factors
avoid nephrotoxic drugs
what 2 classes of drugs can halt progression of renal dz
ACEI
ARB
5 common nephrotoxic drugs
metformin
cetirizine (zyrtec)
hctz
vit c
vit d
bp goal for DM + CKD
< 140/90 w.in 2-4 weeks
common drug-related problem with CKD management
failing to avoid nephrotoxic drugs
what lab must be calculated in order to select drugs safe for pt’s w. CKD
GFR
CKD stages based on GFR
90 or higher: nl
60-89: stage 2
45-59: stage 3a
30-44: stage 3b
15-29: stage 4
< 15: stage 5
4 contraindications for naproxen
dkd (diabetic kidney dz)
diuretics
ACE/ARB
GFR < 30
metformin is contraindicated in pt w. GFR < __
and safe for use if GFR is >
contraindicated: < 30
safe: > 45
when should GFR be evaluated w. pt on metformin
prior to initiation
at least annually
8 classes of DM meds
biguanides (metformin)
sulfonylureas - (rides, glypizide)
alpha glucosidase inhibitors (agi) - (acarbose, miglitol)
tzd’s - (glitazone)
dpp-4 inhibitors - (liptin)
incretin mimetics/glp1 agonists - (atide, utide)
sglt2 inhibitors - (gliflozin)
insulin
2 moa for metformin
inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis
enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat
effect of metformin on A1C
1-2% decrease
t/f: metformin causes weight gain
f!
it is weight neutral
max dose for metformin
2,000 mg/day
3 contraindications for metformin
GFR < 30
hepatic impairment
cardiac failure
2 s.e of metformin
GI
lactic acidosis
mc prescribed DM med
metformin
2 moa for sulfonylureas
-insulin secretagogues -> promote pancreatic b cell insulin secretion
-potentiate insulin action on extra-hepatic tissue
in order for sulfonylureas to be effective in DM patient , what must be functional
endogenous insulin production -> efficacy reduced in later CKD
effect of sulfonylureas on A1C
1-2%
2 s.e of sulfonylureas
hypoglycemia
wt gain (2 kg/year)
what sulfonylurea is contraindicated in renal failure
glyburide
use glimepiride w. caution
__ is the preferred sulfonylurea in DM + CKD
glipizide
t/f: glipizide requires renal dosing
t!
what DM med does Jaynstein really like
sulfonylureas
well tolerated
commonly used
moa for a-glucosidase inhibitors
delay GI breakdown and absorption of CHO
effect of a-glucosidase inhibitors on A1C
0.5-0.8% decrease
t/f: a-glucosidase inhibitors cause wt gain
f!
they are wt neutral
major reason a patient might have poor copmliance w. a-glucosidase inhibitors
GI s.e
does Jaynstein like a-glucosidase inhibitors
no!
poor acceptance
expensive
modest decrease in A1C
when are a-glucosidase inhibitors contraindicated in CKD pt
Cr > 2.0
