Clin Phys- Renal Disease Flashcards
Metabolic by product of muscle catabolism
SCr
How is serum creatinine cleared?
Via glomerular filtration
As one ages, muscle mass generally ______.
Declines
What 2 drugs can impact creatinine secretion within the proximal tubule and give a false elevation?
- Cimetidine
- Trimethoprim
What is GFR adjusted for?
Body surface
What is GFR commonly classified for?
Classification of CKD
Which clearance mechanism uses more markers such as SCr, insulin, iothalamate, or iohexal?
GFR
What is the more expensive assay?
Cystatin C
Exogenous protein primarily cleared by glomerular filtration
Cystatin C
Test that has been found to be just as accurate of predicting GFR as the equation
24 hr urine collection
What must be stable if you are using SCr as the marker to estimate CrCl?
Renal function
What processes can impact SCr levels?
Hypercatabolic
When should you use ideal body weight?
If actual weight is > ideal
What is the ideal body weight equation for men?
50 + (2.3 x inches > 5 ft)
What is the ideal body weight equation for women?
45.5 + (2.3 x inches > 5 ft)
When should you use the adjusted bw equation?
If actual body weight is 30% > than ideal
What is the equation for adjusted body weight?
IBW + 0.4 ( actual- ideal)
When is the MDRD less accurate?
When GFR is> 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
What is a limitation to the CKD-EPI equation?
Less accurate when GFR > 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
What equation has the better predictive value for medication clearance
CKD-EPI
