CKD + Bone Mineral Disease (Exam 1 Cut Off) Flashcards
1
Q
Goals of Therapy
A
- Prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism
- Prevent CKD BMD: bone pain, bone fractures, bone deformities
- Prevent soft tissue calcification
- Prevent morbidity and mortality associated with sHPT and CKD-MBD
2
Q
Managing CKD-MBD
A
- Lowering high serum phosphorus and maintaining serum calcium
- Treating abnormal PTH levels
3
Q
Lab Reference Values - BMD
A
- P: 2.3-5.6 mg/dL
- Ca: 8.4-10.4 mg/dL
- PTH: 18-84 pg/mL
4
Q
What do you assess first?
A
Phosphorus
Limit/Avoid high phosphorus foods
5
Q
Guidelines for CKD 3a-5
A
- Treatment should be based on serial assessments of phosphate, calcium, and PTH levels (consider TOGETHER)
- We suggest lowering elevated phosphate levels toward the normal range and treat overt hyperphosphatemia
6
Q
CKD 3a/b Monitoring/Goals
A
Serum Ca
- Monitor: Every 6-12 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Serum Phosphorus
- Monitor: Every 6-12 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Intact PTH
- Monitor based on baseline level and CKD progression
- Goal: normal range
7
Q
CKD 4 Monitoring and Goals
A
Serum Ca
- Monitor: Every 3-6 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Serum Phosphorus
- Monitor: Every 3-6 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Intact PTH
- Monitor: every 6-12 months
- Goal: normal range
8
Q
CKD 5ND Monitoring and Goals
A
Serum Ca
- Monitor: Every 1-3 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Serum Phosphorus
- Monitor: Every 1-3 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Intact PTH
- Monitor: every 306 months
- Goal: normal range
9
Q
CKD 5D Monitoring and Goals
A
Serum Ca
- Monitor: Every 1-3 months
- Goal: Maintain within normal range
Serum Phosphorus
- Monitor: Every 1-3 months
- Goal: Maintain towards normal range
Intact PTH
- Monitor: every 3-6 months
- Goal: 2-9 times the upper limit of normal
10
Q
Phosphate Binders
A
- Prevents absorption of phosphorus from the diet
- Only for the gut
- Administer with meals
11
Q
Calcium Salt Options
A
- Calcium Carbonate
- Calcium Acetate
- Calcium Citrate
12
Q
Calcium Carbonate
A
- OsCal, Tums, etc.
- 40% elemental calcium
- Inexpensive, OTC
- Wide variety of products/availability
13
Q
Calcium Acetate
A
- PhosLo 667 mg
- 25% elemental calcium
- Expensive, Rx only
- Similar phosphorus binding efficacy as calcium carbonate
- First line agent for hyperphosphotemia
14
Q
Calcium Citrate
A
- AVOID
- Thought to increase Al absorption: Al toxicity
15
Q
Calcium Salt AE/Initial Dosing
A
AE
- Constipation
- HYPERCALCEMIA
Initial Dose
- 250-500 mg of elemental Ca TID with meals
- Titrate to serum phosphorus concentrations
16
Q
Calcium Salt Guideline Recommendations
A
- We suggest avoiding with hypercalcemia
- Restrict dose of calcium-based phosphate binders
- Limit elemental calcium from binders to 1500 mg/day
17
Q
[Calcium] + Hypoalbuminemic
A
- Total serum calcium concentration corrected for low serum albumin
- Better reflection of free [Ca]
- Corrected CA = Measured + 0.8*[4-serum albumin]
- *If serum albumin >4, don’t correct the calcium level**
18
Q
Sevelamer
A
- Renvela
- Nonadsorbed phosphate-binding polymer: anion-exchange resin
- Free of metal ions
- Decreases TC and LDL by 15-30%
- Formulations: 800 mg tablets or 800/2400mg powder packets
19
Q
Sevelamer AE
A
- N/V
- Diarrhea
- Dyspepsia
- Bowel Obstruction
