18
Q

How is it produced

A

Creatine from liver stored in muscle gets degraded to creatinine

19
Q

Why is this not sensitive at higher gfrs (ie can’t detect early stages of GFR loss)

A

Because signchanges in Cr plasma only occur at v low GFR

It is an exponential relationship

So at higher GFR like 50 the cr in plasma similar to 90

20
Q

What is the normal GFR

A

90+ ml

21
Q

What does GFR levels not account for

A

Cr levels in people

Muscle mass difference in gender, elderly, amputees, liver disease

22
Q

Why could women be over diagnosed or men misdiagnosed as normal

A

Low cr to begin with

High and limited change in men

23
Q

What is used to estimate GFR from Cr levels of blood and why not urine

A

Urine would need 24 hour collection

Can use formulas which deteeemine likely GFR based on serum cr and ethnicity, gender and age

24
Q

What 3 things can be done to quantify proteinuria / hematuria

A

Dipstick test

Urine collection/ urinalysis for 24 hours

Albumin/Cr ratio from spot urine sample

25
Q

Why does nice recommend the ratio

A

It accounts for differences in hydration level. As both decrease in conc as hydration goes up the cr allows adjustment to hydration levels

(Conc would be more if less hydrated)

26
Q

What mg/mmol is normal of albumin

A

3mg or below

27
Q

How long do you need to have dysfunction according to nkf-kdqoi fuidelines

A

3 months

28
Q

What does GFR need to be reduced to

A

60 or below

29
Q

What does g1 to g5 mean

A

G1 is relatively normal GFR but some proteinuria so early stage of ckd

G5 is below 15mls GFR so is kidney failure

30
Q

What does A1 to A3 mean

A

A1 is normal albumiurea but a3 is over 30mg/mmol

31
Q

What is the limitations of these guidelines

A

Use an estimated GFR based on formulas like mdrd which could misdiagnose based on age or gender etc

32
Q

Is ckd common in uk

A

Yes around 4 million people

33
Q

What is the likely demographic

A

Over 70s, women

34
Q

What are common comorbidities with ckd especially as you decrease GFR down further

A

Hypertension, cvd , diabetes

35
Q

Give some reasons why prevalence is increasing

A

More illnesses like diabetes II
or hypertension

More ethnically diverse with Africans having more ckd risk

36
Q

Why can hypocalcemia from kidney disease cause secondary osteodystrophy

A

Vit d not activated by kidneys so can’t absorb calcium from gut

The parathyroid tries to compensate by removing calcium from bones

37
Q

Why is pulmonary oedema / edema in general common in ckd

A

Water retention

38
Q

What is link between anorexia and urea

A

Uraemia in ckd can cause poor appetite

39
Q

Which hormone from kidney is reduced in ckd causing iron deficiency and anemia

A

EPO

40
Q

What other symptoms can uraemia cause

A

Fatigue, itchiness, nausea , pericarditis

41
Q

What is the impact on mortality in lower egfr

A

Increased risk at eg g4

42
Q

What else is increased risk as ckd progressives

A

Cv events and hospitalisation

43
Q

Which non fatal events can microalbuminurea cause

A

Pulmonary edema and ventricular arrhythmia

44
Q

What increased risk of death after myocardial infarction

A

Microalbuminuria
