Lect 2 Flashcards
what is CKD associated with?
abnormal kidney function and progressive decline in GFR
chronic renal failure corresponds with what CKD stages?
Stages 3-5
end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
final stage of CKD
accumulation of toxins, fluid, and electrolytes normally excreted by the kidney
results in uremic syndrome and pt will die w/o dialysis or kidney transplant
Stage 0
GFR >90 with risk factors fro CKD
Stage 1
GFR>90 w/ kidney damage (persistent proteinuria, abnormal urine sediment, abnormal blood chemistry, abnormal imaging studies)
Stage 2
GFR 60-89
Stage 3
GFR 30-59
Stage 4
GFR 15-29
Stage 5
GFR less than 15
consequences of glomerular hyperfiltration
Compression of endothelial cells → cannot really function anymore/ will be occluded → increase in capillary pressure and enlarged capillaries
histology of CKD
In chronic kidney disease, regular renal parenchyma is replaced by fibrotic tissue
Also have loss of tubules
risk factors for CKD
HTN, DM, autoimmunity (SLE!!), age, african ancestry, family history, previous episode of AKI, proteinuria, abnormal urinary sediment, structural abnormalities
what is the peak GFR?
120 mL/min
what is the mean decline in GFR?
declines 1 mL/year reaching a mean value of 70 mL/min at age 70 (mean GFR is lower in women than in men)
monitoring nephron injury
GFR, 24h urine collection (albuminuria), spot first-morning urine sample (protein to creatinine ratio)
