CKD Flashcards
what is chronic kidney disease
abnormal kidney function and/ or structure
what does CKD often co exist with
other conditions inc diabetes and CV disease
risk of what is increased in moderate to severe CKD
acute kidney injury, falls, fragility and mortality
how does age affect risk of getting CKD
increases with age
what is the aim of treatment in CKD
prevent or delay progression
reduce/ prevent complications
reduce risk of CV disease
what is eGFR based upon
serum creatinine, age, sex, race
what does a spiked creatinine suggest
acute kidney injury
how do you diagnose CKS
minimum of two samples at least 90 days apart
eGFR, eGFRcreatinine and ACR
can use eGFRcreatinineC
what is G1 stage of CKD
e GFR 90 (normal function but urine findings/ structural abnormalities/ genetic trait point to kidney disease
what is G2 stage of CKD
eGFR 60-89
midly reduced renal function
what are G3a and b stages of CKD
G3a 45-59
G3b 30-44
Moderately reduced kidney function- risk of endocrine and cardiovascular increases problems
what is G4 stage of CKD
eGFR 15-29
severely reduced kidney function
what is G5 stage of CKD
eGFR <15
established renal failure
what does albumin in urine suggest
glomerular damage
what is ACR
albumin creatinine ratio
A1 <3
A2 3-30
A3 >30
shows level of albumin in urine, A1 normal
does having and acute kidney injury increase your risk of getting CKD
yes have to monitor every 2-3 years
who should you offer CKD testing to
people with:diabetes
hypertension
Acute kidney injury
cardiovascular disease (ischaemic heart disease, chronic heart failure, peripheral vascular disease or cerebral vascular disease)
structural renal tract disease, recurrent renal calculi or prostatic hypertrophy
multisystem diseases with potential kidney involvement – for example, systemic lupus erythematosus
family history of end-stage kidney disease (GFR category G5) or hereditary kidney disease
opportunistic detection of haematuria
who DOESNT have CKD
an eGFRcreatinine of 45–59 ml/min/1.73m2 and
an eGFRcystatinC of more than 60 ml/min/1.73m2 and
no other marker of kidney disease
