Q

CKD Pathophysiology

A

1) Mechanisms specific to the etiology (glomerulonephritis, tubulointerstitial disease, kidney development)
2) Progressive reduction of renal mass (hyperfiltration and hypertrophy of remaining nephrons)

Q

Decreased number of nephrons leads to

A

Hypertrophy and hyperfiltration –> increased pressure and flow –> distortion of glomerular architecture/sclerosis and drop out of remaining nephrons –> destruction of parenchyma

Q

What are the consequences of hyperfiltration

A

Fibrosis and compression of the endothelial cells –> can’t function –> more nephrons are removed –> irreversible process of damage begins

21
Q

Stage 1 and 2 Symptoms

A

None related to decreased GFR but may be some related to the renal disease (edema, HTN)

22
Q

Stage 3 and 4 symptoms

A

Anemia
Fatigability
Decreasing appetite with progressive malnutrition
Calcium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, water, acid-base homeostatis and mineral regulating hormone abnormalities

23
Q

Stage 5 Symptoms

A

Toxins accumulate –> disturbance in their daily living, well being, nutrional status, water/electrlyte homeostatis

24
Q

Stage 5 leads to

A

Uremic syndrome

25
Q

Leading etiologies of CKD

A

DM II
Glomerulonephritis
Hypertensive nephropathy
Polycystic kidney disease

26
Q

Pathophysiology of uremia

A

Accumulation of toxins that undergo renal excretion
Loss of other renal functions (fluid homeostatis and hormone regulation)
Systemic inflammation and its vascular and nutritional complications (elevated protein C)

27
Q

Surrogate markers of real toxins are:

A

Urea and creatinine

28
Q

Uremia leads to

A

disturbances in the function of virtually every organ system

29
Q

Severy complications and consequences of CKD

A

Cardiovascular
Hematologic (no erythropoietin)
Ca, PO4 and bone (replacement with fibrosis)

30
Q

Define metabolic acidosis

A

Abnormally high level of acid and low bicarbonate in blood and other tissues resulting from inability to excrete protons and reabsorb bicarb

31
Q

Hypervolemia

A

Na & H2O retention
Extracellular fluid expansion –> HTN and edema
HTN leads to nephron injury acceleration
(no RAAS activation so retention)

32
Q

Hypovolemia

A

Na and H2O leads to extrarenal fluid loss +

Impaired renal conservation leads to acute-on-chronic renal failure

33
Q

Acute on chronic

A

Inability to concentrate the urine leads to increased water loss and decreased CO

34
Q

Things that lead to hyperkalemia

A
Protein catabolism
GI hemorrhage
ACEi
ARBs
Transfusion
Hemolysis
Diuretics
35
Q

HyperK is seen in

A

DM

Obstructive and sickle cell nephropathy

36
Q

Ischemic cardiovascular disease types

A

Occlusive coronary disease
Cerebrovascular disease
Peripheral vascular disease

37
Q

Normocytic, normochromic anemia

A
Insufficient erythropoietin
Iron deficiency
Impaired iron utilization
Severe hyperparathyroidism (bone marrow fibrosis)
Shortened RBC survival
38
Q

Abnormal hemostatis =

A

Prolong bleeding time

Thromboembolism (nephrotic syndrome - loss of anticoagulants)

39
Q

Bone manifestations of CKD

A

High bone turnover with increased PTH levels

Low bone turnover with low or normal PTH

40
Q

Bone manifestations of CKD

A

High bone turnover with increased PTH levels

Low bone turnover with low or normal PTH

41
Q

High bone turnover with increased PTH levels =

A

Osteitis fibrosa cystica

42
Q

Low bone turnover with low or normal PTH =

A

Adynamic bone disease (PTH suppression)

Osteomalacia

43
Q

Decreased calcium leads to

A

Bone :Increased bone absorption and Ca efflux
Kidney and intestine: Increased Ca reabs and decreased PO4 reabs

Bone and Kidney due to increased PTH
Intestine due to increased dihyroxycholecalciferol

44
Q

Too much calcium =

A

Thyroid gland releases calcitonin which stimulates Ca salt deposit in bone

45
Q

Too little calcium =

A

Thyroid gland releases PTH which tells osteoclast to degrade bone matrix to release Ca into blood

46
Q

Renal osteodystrophy

A

Increased osteoclastic bone resorption (osteitis fibrosa cystica like disease)
Osteomalacia (decreased matrix mineralization)
Adynamic bone (reduced volume and mineralization

47
Q

Secondary hyperparathyroidism Patho

A

Declining GFR leads to reduced PO4 excretion
PO4 stimulates increased PTH and growth of parathyroid gland
Decreased Ca leads to PTH production
Low calcitriol has a direct effect on PTH transcription
Metabolic Acidosis stimulates bone resorption
- GFR

48
Q

FGR-23 (phosphatonin)

A

RF for left ventricular hypertrophy and mortality in dialysis pts
Tries to keep normal phosphorus levels
Increases early in CKD and promotes PO4 excretion

49
Q

CKD has

A

Hypocalcemia and hyper PO4

50
Q

CKD has

A

Hypocalcemia and hyper PO4

51
Q

Consequences of CKD

A
Bone pain and fragility
Brown tumor
