CKD Flashcards
CKD
Progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function
Two common causes
Diabetes and hyper tension
Risk factors CKD
Older than 60
CVD
Diabetes
Ethnicity
Nephrotoxic drugs
Family history
Hypertension
Diabetic nephropathy
Damage to the small vessels that supply the Glomeruli due to underlying diabetic condition
Individuals with CKD are frequently
Asymptomatic , under diagnosed and untreated
How many stages is CKD
5
Stage 1
Gfr of 90 or greater
Structural changes that indicate renal damage
Stage 2
Kidney damage with mild decrease in gfr
60-89
Undetectable
Stage 3
Moderate to poor kidney function
Gfr 30-59
BECAREFUL with nephrotoxic drugs
Will start to see an increase creatine level
Will see this on our labs
Stage 4
Moderate to poor kidney function
Prepare pt for renal replacement therapy but pt not there yet
Low potassium diet
Gfr 15-29
Stage 5
ESRD
Gfr 15 or less
Renal replacement needed if there is a build up of toxins in the blood and if the pt desires treatment
CKD manifestation
Effects every body system
Sodium and fluid balance altered
Altered potassium excretion
Impaired metabolic waste elimination
Neurological symptoms
Altered calcium and phosphorous levels
Metabolic acidosis
Chronic anemia
Serum creatine/bun/potassium
Increase in ckd
General sodium rule CKD
2 g a day
Creatine clearance
Decrease
Serum sodium/calcium
Decrease
Co2/hemoglobin& hematocrit
Decrease
Overall goal
Preserve existing kidney
Reduce risk of CVD
Prevent complications
Provide for pt comfort
Nursing management CVD
Nutrition /glycemic control
Fluid management
Meds
Monitor vs and lab values
Monitor I&O and daily weight
Skin care
CRF hemodialysis
Evaluate , assess site for latency and s/s of infection do not take bp or obtain blood samples from extremities that has access site
Nutrional therapy
Monitor /restrict protien
Fluid restriction
Sodium /potassium restrictions
Phosphate restriction (ESRD)
Maintain good nutrient
Monitor labs
Dietary to help hypertension
Dash diet
Lowers bp and red
