27
Q

What is the A1c goal for patients with CKD and T2DM?

28
Q

What is a concern with A1c values in patients with CKD?

A

red blood cell life span is decreased so HbA1c values may be falsely low

29
Q

What conditions lead to CKD that should be treated?

A
  1. CV disease
  2. dyslipidemia
30
Q

Why should patients with CKD not continue ESAs if Hb >11-11.5?

A

increases risk of death, serious CV reactions, stroke

31
Q

What is the KDIGO Hb goal for non-dialysis patients?

32
Q

What is the Hb goal for dialysis patients CKD?

33
Q

What Hb level indicates starting an ESA?

34
Q

What is the transferrin saturation goal for CKD?

35
Q

What is the serum ferritin goal for CKD?

A

> 500 ng/dL

36
Q

What are non pharm treatments for anemia of CKD?

A
  1. diet (increase iron, folic acid, B-12)
  2. water-soluble vitamin supplement for patients on dialysis
37
Q

What are the pharmacologic options to treat anemia of CKD?

A
  1. iron

Q

How is iron dosed for CKD?

A

200mg elemental iron PO QD for 1-3 months before assessing response

Q

How long does it take for ESAs to start working?

A

onset of action ~10 days

46
Q

What is an acceptable rate of increase in Hb per month?

A

1-2 g/dL/month

47
Q

When should the ESA dose be decreased by 25-50%?

A

48
Q

What should be done if Hb is >11 in a HD patient?

What should be done if Hb is >10 in a non-HD patient?

A

reduce the dose by 25% or temporarily discontinue

49
Q

What should be done if ESA had to be temporarily D/C due to high Hb?

A
  1. restart at 75% of the dose once Hb starts to decrease

A

Daprodustat JESDUVROQ

55
Q

What is a BBW with Daprodustat JESDUVROQ?

A
  1. increases thrombotic vascular events and CV events
  2. targeting Hb >11 is expected to further increase the risk of death and aterial venous thrombotic events
  3. use the lowest dose possible to reduce the need for red blood cell transfusions
56
Q

What are warnings and SEs with Daprodustat JESDUVROQ?

A
  1. increased risk of death, MI, stroke, VTE
  2. risk of hospitalization for HF

  5. malignancy
57
Q

How is Daprodustat JESDUVROQ dosed for adults on HD not receiving an ESA?

A

depends on Hb

58
Q

How is Daprodustat JESDUVROQ dosed for adults on HD not switching from an ESA?

A

depends on the current dose of ESA

59
Q

What is the generally accepted lowest Hb value that would prompt prescribers to administer packed RBCs?

60
Q

Why do clinicians want to avoid giving PRBCs?

A
  1. risks of infection
  2. immunologic reactions
  3. volume overload
