CKD - MBD Flashcards
What does stimulation of the PTH gland do?
Increases serum calcium and phosphorus
What causes MBD in CKD
secondary hyperparathyroidism
Hyperparathyroidism directly leads to what
phosphate retention
decreased vitamin D activation
Phosphate retention and decreased Vit D activation lead to what?
Hypocalcemia
True or False
As GFR declines, CKD-MBD worsens
True
Clinical Presentation pf CKD-MBD
Usually asymptomatic so monitor labs
Consequences are significant when severe/uncontrolled
When should you monitor Calcium and Phosphorus
CKD Stage 3 - Every 6 - 12 months
CKD Stage 4 - Every 3 - 6 months
CKD Stage 5 - every 1 - 3 months
***Calcium with ALbumin
When should you monitor iPTH
CKD Stage 3 - every 12 months
CKD Stage 4 - every 3 - 12 months
CKD Stage 5 - every 3 - 6 months
When should you monitor 25-OH Vitamin D
at baseline
What is alkaline phosphatase/Bone -specific
(ALP/BALP)?
Bone specific ALP; reflects biosynthetic activity of osteoblasts
Equation for Corrected Calcium
= Measured Ca + 0.8(4- albumin)
Calcium normal range
8.5 - 10.2
Consequences of CKD-MBD
- Bone disease
- CV disease (#1 cause of ESRD death)
- Calciphylaxis (CUA)
Consequences of secondary hyperparathyroidism
- ESA resistance
- Left ventricular hypertrophy
- Parathyroid Hyperplasia
- Myocardial fibrosis
- Immune dysfunction
- Lipid metabolism (HyperTG)
- Renal Osteodystrophy
What happens if you undertreat HyperPTH
Ostetitis fibrosa
What happens if you overtreat HyperPTH
Adynamic bone disease
Osteomalacia
Goals of CKD-MBD Treatment
- Prevent cardio/extravascular calcification
- Prevent development of HyperPTH and Renal Osteodystrophy
- Maintain critical biochemical parameters in range (Calcium, Phosphorus, iPTH)
- Prevent mortality
General Approach to CKD-MBD Treatment
1st step: Phosphate Binders (w/dietary control)
2nd step: Activated Vitamin D
3rd step: Calcimimetics
How to give phosphate binders
Check serum Calcium
Low serum Ca, give what phosphate binder?
Calcium based phosphate binder
Normal serum Ca, give what phosphate binder
Non-Ca based phosphate binder
High serum Ca, give what phosphate binder?
Non- Ca based phosphate binder
What are your calcium based phosphate binders?
Calcium carbonate
Calcium acetate
Calcium acetate specifications
Expensive
Only available Rx
Less Ca
Calcium carbonate specifications
OTC (Tums)
More Ca
Less expensive
Requires acidic pH
What are your non-Ca based phosphate binders?
Sevelamer carbonate
Lanthanum carbonate
Ferric citrate
Sucroferric oxyhydroxide
1st line non-Ca based Phos Biinder?
Sevelamer carbonate
***may improve metabolic acidosis
When should you use Lanthanum carbonate
when you cannot use Renvela
OR
when you need a chewable formulation
***worsens metabolic acidosis
After Phosphate binders, what should you do to lower PTH
Activated Vitamin D/analogs
OR Calcimimetic
When should you use Activated Vitamin D/analogs
Serum Calcium is normal - low
When should you use Calcimetic
Serum calcium normal - high
Goals of treatment for secondary hyperparathyroidism
Avoid hypercalcemia (asymptomatic hypoCa is okay)
Phosphate towards normal range: 2.7 - 4.6, 3.5-5.5
iPTH 2- 9 x ULN (150 - 600)
What are your Activated Vitamin D & analogs
- Calcitriol (Rectorol)
- Paracalcitol (Zemplor)
- Doxercalciferol (Hectorol)
Activated Vitamin D vs Analaogs
Analogs have less risk of hypercalcemia
What are your calcimimetics
Cinacalcet (Sensipar) - PO
Etelcalcitide (Parsabiv) - IV
How should you take Phosphate binders?
WITH FOOD
Adverse effects of Ca based phosphate binders
Abdominal Discomfort
Nephrolithiasis
Calciphylaxis
Ca based Phos binders dosinh
Carbonate 1250 mg TID w/ food
Acetate 1334 mg TID W/ food
***Note TID w/ food
Ca based phosphate binders DDI
Fluroquinolones
Levothyroxine
Iron
***other meds, separate by 2 hrs
Sevelamer dosing
Based on serum phosphate levels
5.5 - 7.5 800 mg TID
7.5 - 9 1200 - 1600 mg TID
>9 1600 mg TID
Sevelamer Adverse effects
GI and Diarrhea
Iron based phosphate binders
Ferric citrate (PO TID)
- iron deficiency anemia
Sucroferric oxyhydroxide (chewable)
- lower pill burden
Ferric citrate adverse effetcs

Risk of Al toxicity
ADEs: Gi, CNS toxicity
Use short term
Phosphorus and Mortality

True or False
You cannot combine Calcium and non-Calcium based Phosphate binders
False
What is activated Vitamin D

When iPTH is still elevated w/ Calcium and Phosphate at goal
