Q

Describe the pathophysiology of CKD.

A
  • Progressive nephropathies have a final common pathway to irreversible parenchymal damage
  • -1) Loss of nephron mass
  • -2) Glomerular capillary HTN
  • -3) Proteinuria
  • Progressive loss of structural nephron units
  • Ultimate loss of kidney function

Q

Name the non-pharmacologic treatment for CKD progression.

A
  • Dietary protein restriction (0.8 g/kg/day for pts with GFR <30 mL/min)
