Exam 2 - Chronic Kidney Disase Flashcards
What are the 2 most predominant conditions leading to the progression of CKD?
1) DM
2) HTN
Name 4 conditions associated with CKD.
1) DM
2) HTN
3) Glomerulonephritis
4) Polycystic kidney disease
Describe the pathophysiology of CKD.
- 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
What enzyme does the kidney release into the blood?
RENIN
What timeline and qualifications is required for CKD?
Presence of:
- Markers of kidney damage (1 or more)
- Decreased GFR
Either present for >3 months
Name the markers of kidney damage.
- Albuminuria (AER >30 mg/24h or ACR >30 mg/g)
- Urine sediment abnormalities
- Electrolyte and other abnormalities due to tubular disorders
- Abnormalities detected by histology
- Structural abnormalities detected by imaging
- Hx of kidney transplantation
What GFR level meets the criteria for CKD after >3 months?
<60 mL/min/1.73 m^2
How is CKD categorized (CGA)?
C - Cause
G - GFR category (G1-G5)
A - Albuminuria category (A1-A3)
What are the GFR categories?
- G1 = >90
- G2 = 60-89
- G3a = 45-59
- G3b = 30-44
- G4 = 15-29
- G5 = <15
Which stage of GFR categories has two parts (a and b)?
Stage G3
- G3 a = 45-59
- G3 b = 30-44
What are the albuminuria categories?
- A1 = <30
- A2 = 30-300
- A3 = >300
Name the non-pharmacologic treatment for CKD progression.
- Dietary protein restriction (0.8 g/kg/day for pts with GFR <30 mL/min)
- Moderate intensity physical activity for total cumulative duration of 150 min/week or level compatible with CV and physical tolerance
- If pt has HTN, low Na diet (<2 g/day)
- Limit alcohol intake (No >2 standard drinks/day)
What is the protein restriction for pts with GFR <30 mL/min?
0.8 g/kg/day
Name the pharmacologic treatment for CKD progression.
- Control of HTN (ACE-I/ARB)
- Glycemic control (A1c <7%)
- SGLT2 inhibitors
- Statins
- Smoking cessation
- Weight management (goal BMI <20-25)
- Treatment of anemia
- Treatment of CK-MBD
What are the ADA recommendations for albumin:Scr sceenings?
ANNUAL
- For T1DM = 5 years after dx
- For T2DM = after dx
