CKD & ESRD Flashcards
what is CKD vs. AKI?
- CKD
–> over lifetime due to underlying conditions - AKI
–> short period of time working then not
what value do we look at for a dec. GFR?
- GFR < 60 ml/min
- categories G3a-G5
what stage do we look at and care about for CKD and when are most people on dialysis?
- stage G3 is when we care
- stage G5 for dialysis
what is the life expectancy for a 20 and 60 year old with and without ESKD?
- 20 WITHOUT add on 47-60yr
- 20 WITH add on 17-21 yr
- 60 WITHOUT add on 16-23 yr
- 60 WITH add on 4-5yr
what is the most commonly used equation for CrCl?
- Cockroft and Gault formula
what equation is the most accurate for GFR?
MDRD ( mod of diet in renal disease)
what is the CrCl equation?
M= (140-age) IBW/ SCr x 72
W= above x 0.85
what waste do the kidneys excrete?
nitrogenous waste
what complication does nitrogneous waste cause and what value do we look at?
- uremia and BUN
how can you fix electrolyte imbalances in CKD?
sodium bicarb
what hormone does the kidney secrete and what does this cause?
- erythropoietin
- kidney anemia
what are some effects of the body with people who have CKD?
- uremic fetor
- metallic taste
- uremic frost
do we need to fluid restrict in patients?
only if Na+ not controlled
what is a consideration when using diuretics on their CrCl?
- thiazides ineffective when CrCl <30ml/min
- loops will work when CrCl < 30 ml/min
what do we do about electrolyte imbalances specifically with Na and K?
Na- no salt added diet
K- 3gm/day
—> if pre-dialysis then 4.5-5.5
what are three pathways that increase PTH and inc. risk of fractures overall?
- inc. phos
- dec. ca
- dec. vit D
when is hyperphosphatemia a problem?
people who have ESRD (4&5 sstage)
when do we give phosphate binders?
with all meals
what are the calcium containing phosphate binders?
- tums
- Phoslo
what is the % of elemental calcium and SEs and a clinical pearl?
- calcium carbonate has about 40% elemental calcium
- don’t exceed 1500 EC/ day
- can cause constipation
tell me a little bit about PhosLo and where it goes?
- has 25% elemental calcium
- 1500/day
- goes through Gi tract and passes in feces
tell me about sevelamer; what does it do; and some SEs?
- it is a hydro gel
- it decreases LDL by 15-30%
- it dec. uric acid conc.
- mild stomach upset
- can take 14g/ day
tell me about lanthanum, SEs, and clinical pearls?
- titrated to 1500-3000
- better in acidic environment
- eliminated in feces
- gi: nausea, vomit, diarrhea
- no LT accumulation
