Endo Flashcards
Renal complication of DM that have propensity for hyperkalemia and acidemia. Exacerbated by ACEI, ARBS and Aldo-antagonists
Type IV RTA
Hyporeninemic Hypoaldosteronemic
2 factors for diabetic kidney disease
Albuminuria + decreased GFR <60ml/min
In DM is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease
Albuminuria
Pathogenesis related to chronic hyperglycemia
Angiotensin II
GF
ENDOTHELIN
AGEs
Spot urinary albumin to CREA ratio
Albuminuria
Interventions effective in slowing progression from micro albuminuria to macro albuminuria
- Improve glycemic control
- Strict Bp
- Administration of ACE-I or ARBs
BP goal in patients with DM nephropathy with risk of CVD and CKD
<130/80
BP goal in patients with DM nephropathy with proteinuria
125/75
Protein intake in Diabetic kidney disease
0.8 mg/kg/day
Referral for transplant evaluation once GFR is
<20ml/min
Major risk factors for diabetic neuropathy
Increased BMI
Smoking
Most common form of diabetic neuropathy
Distal symmetric polyneuropathy
DSPN
Major risk factors for foot ulceration sand falls
LOPS Loss of protective sensation
DSPN Distal symmetric polyneuropathy
Most prominent Gastric complication in CM by parasympathetic dysfunction
Delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis)
Altered small and large bowel motility
( constipation and diarrhea)
DM RELATED GI autonomic neuropathy
Nocturnal diarrhea alternating with constipation
If with known CHD with DM
Ace-I or ARBS, statin and Aspirin
DM AND POST MI
Beta blocker
Dm and CHF
Avoid THIAZOLDINEDIONES (pioglitazone) due to edema Use metformin instead if with good renal fx
