CKD Flashcards
What are the complications of CKD
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
Medications targeting the different complications
- Epoetin Alfa: Anaemia
- Sodium polystyrene sulfonate/Sodium zirconium cyclsilicate: Hyperk + metabolic acidosis
- CaCo3/Ca acetate/Sevelamer/Lanthanum: HypoCa & Hyperphosphataemia + metabolic acidosis
- Calcitriol/Cinacalcet: Hyperparathyroidism/HypoCa + metabolic acidosis
- Fruosemide: Hypervolemia
What class is epoetin Alfa
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents
What class is Sodium polystyrene sulfonate/Sodium zirconium cyclosiliate
Potassium binder
What class is CaCO3/Ca acetate/Sevelamer/Lanthanum
Ca based phosphate binder
What class is Calcitrol/Cinacalcet
Vit D supplement (absorb Ca)
What class is furosemide
Loop diuretic
MOA of epoetin Alfa
Stimulate erythropoiesis
MOA of sodium polystyrene sulfonate/sodium zirconium cyclosilicate
Bind excess K in bowel = K excreted from stool
Capture K in exchange for Ca & Na ion in colon
MOA of CaCO3/Ca acetate/Sevelamer/Lathanium
Bind to phosphate that Ca cannot regulate out and excrete out
MOA of Calcitriol/Cinacalcet
Active form of vit D3 that elevate plasma Ca = stimulate intestinal Ca uptake & increase reabsorption of Ca in kidney
MOA of furosemide
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
AE of epoetin alfa
Fever, insomnia, nausea, diarrhoea, urti, seizure, htn, HF, oedema, cough, stroke
AE of sodium polystyrene sulfonate/sodium zirconium cyclosilicate
Oedema, HypoK, Constipation, Abdo pain, Retention of Na, Diarrhoea, Faecal impaction, vomiting, decrease ca & mg, bloating, nausea
AE for CaCO3/Ca acetate/Sevelamer/Lathanum
Oedema, Hypophosphate, Constipation, Abdo pain, Bloating
