What are the complications of CKD

A

Anaemia, Hypervolemia, HyperK, HypoCa, Hyperphosphataemia, Metabolic acidosis

Hypertension & CVD, Uraemic syndrome, Metabolic acidosis, Anaemia, Pain, Depression, E- imbalances (hyperk, hyperphosphorous, hyperMg), Bone mineral disorder (increased phosphate & PTH disrupt Ca absorption), Malnutrition

Q

Medications targeting the different complications

A
  1. Epoetin Alfa: Anaemia
  2. Sodium polystyrene sulfonate/Sodium zirconium cyclsilicate: Hyperk + metabolic acidosis
  3. CaCo3/Ca acetate/Sevelamer/Lanthanum: HypoCa & Hyperphosphataemia + metabolic acidosis
  4. Calcitriol/Cinacalcet: Hyperparathyroidism/HypoCa + metabolic acidosis
  5. Fruosemide: Hypervolemia

Q

MOA of sodium polystyrene sulfonate/sodium zirconium cyclosilicate

Q

MOA of Calcitriol/Cinacalcet

A

Active form of vit D3 that elevate plasma Ca = stimulate intestinal Ca uptake & increase reabsorption of Ca in kidney

Q

MOA of furosemide

A

Inhibit luminal Na-K-Cl cotransporter in thick ascending limb of loop of henle = bind to cl transporter - more Na, Cl & K stay in urine

Q

AE of Calcitriol/Cinacalcet

A

High Ca, Mg, Phosphate, increase BUN & creatinine, constipation, bone pain, excessive night time urination, cardiac arrhythmia

17
Q

AE of furosemide

A

Mild hypok, postural hypotension, tinnitus, nausea, diarrhoea, dizziness, fatigue, significant hypok, blood dyscrasia, dehydration, ototoxicity, e- imbalance, circulatory collapse

18
Q

Why furosemide can be used in CKD

A

Only in small doses (stage 4/5). Start with 40-80mg then slowly titrate up by 25%-50% depending on reaction and ECF vol. Once reach effective dose, to use according to clinical needs.
