0.6-1.2 mg/dl
GFR represents
plasma filtration by glomerulus
nl GFR
90 ml/min/1.73 m2 or higher
gs measurement for gfr
inulin clearance
2 equations used for GFR measurement

obese
fluid overloaded
all types of proteins that might be in urine
proteinuria
nl proteinuria
less than 150 mg/dl
gold standard proteinuria measurement
24 hr urine → urine protein to creatinine ratio
causes of proteinuria
tubular damage
diabetic nephropathy
glomerulonephritis
rhabdo
bence-jones proteins
exercise
orthostatic proteinuria
acute sickness
proteinuria that is specific to CKD and pathopgnomonic to kidney damage
albuminuria
test that detects early CKD
albuminuria
preferred screening for albuminuria
yearly urine albumin to Cr ratio
nl albuminuria
less than 30 mg/d
microalbuminuria parameter
30-300 mg/day
macroalbuminuria parameter
higher than 300 mg/day
higher albuminuria is associated w.
quicker progression to kidney failure
tx for early detection of moderate-severe albuminuria in diabetics
ACEI
OR
ARB
→ decrease amt of albuminuria
