From Review: Kidney Disease Flashcards
oliguria
low urine output of <400 mL/day.
a sign/cause of CKD.
anuria
very low urine output of <75-100 mL/day
What should be in a renal vitamin supplement
w/o vitamin A (retinol).
serum vit D is often low so many ppl need sup.
renal MVTs
renax, dialyvite 800, dialyvite 800 +zinc, nephrocaps, nephrovit, renal tabs, diatx (lowers tHcy as it has more folate, B12, B6)
K mg to mEq
39 mg K = 1 mEq
Na mg to mEq
23 mg Na = 1 mEq
decreaased carnitine levels caused by kidney failure: s/s
muscular weak, arrhythmias, high plasma triglycerides
carnitine recommendation
max 2g/day. neg results w/higher dose.
oral dose = 2g/day or less
IV = 1.4g/day (20 mg/kg)
control high iPTH meds
hectoral (doxercalcipherol)
zemplar (paricalcitol)
sensipar (cinacalcet) - not vit D
vit D3 therapy will
suppress iPTH and help normalize serum Ca
vit D3 therapy meds
calcitriol intravenous (Calcijex®), calcitriol oral (Rocaltrol®)- 1, 25 dihydroxy D3 .
doxercalciferol intravenous (Hectorol®), or doxercalciferol oral (Hectorol®)-1-alpha-hydroxy-vitamin D2.
paricalcitol (Zemplar®)- 19-nor-1-alpha-25 dihydroxy D2).
Sensipar® (cinacalcet) control
hyperparathyroidism associated w/bone disease, vascular calcification and parathyroid hyperplasia
Sensipar® (cinacalcet) more effective at
lowering iPTH than vit D is
Sensipar® binds to the
calcium-sensing Receptor (CaR) increasing its sensitivity to extracellular Ca. when Ca binds to and activates the CaR, PTH release is inhibited.
severe hyperphosphatemia level
7 - 15 mg/dL
meds to lower phos
renagel or renvela (less toxic, more expensive).
fosrenal.
less common - aluminum actacids: amphogel, Alu-tabs, alu-caps to bind phos in gut and increase excretion in stool.
must be taken w/each meal and snack. only give Ca sup if phos is below 7
causes for poor EPO response
infection/inflam, chronic blood loss, osteitis fibrosa, aluminum toxicity, hemoglobinopathies, folate or B12 def, multiple myeloma, malnutrition, hemodialysis.
high BUN indicate that
too high protein intake
predialysis enteral formula names
Suplena
RenalCal
PreD enteral: Suplena kcal
1800 Kcal/L calorically dense for fluid restriction
PreD enteral: Suplena low in
protein (44.7g/L) but HBV
electrolytes
phosphorus
vit A & D
PreD enteral: Suplena high in
calcium
folic acid
PreD enteral: Suplena has
carb stead and FOS
PreD enteral: RenalCal kcal
2.0 kcal/L
negligible electrolytes
PreD enteral: RenalCal AAs
67% essential and 33% non-essential L-AAs and histidine for + N balance and minimizing uremic symptoms
PreD enteral: RenalCal meets or exceeds
100% of RDI for water-sol vits in 1000 mL (2000 kcal)
PreD enteral: RenalCal fat source
contains 70% MCT LCT for improved tolerance
PreD parenteral nutrition
more essential AAs and less non-essential.
