Q

when does a sample of ACR need to be rechecked?

A

Early morning sample is taken and ACR value of between 3 and70mg/mmol warrants a subsequent morning sample for confirmed diagnosis.

Q

which figure will be greater -ACR or PCR?

A

PCR value will always be greater than ACR as there are proteins other than albumin in urine.

Q

what can early treatment of CKD help?

A

Early treatment of CKD and its complications can delay or prevent progression to ESRD
•Annual SrCr checks recommended forestimation of GFR, urine dipstick for patients known to have a high risk of developing CKD.

Q

what treatment do you give for CKD?

A
  • Inulin – excreted unchanged in the urine,•provides accurate GFR assessment.•Expensive, time consuming
  • Serum creatinine (SrCr)•Simple to measure, Inexpensive•Routinely used to assess renal function•Not always accurate and can beinfluenced by many factors.

Q

what do you need to make dose adjustments for in creatine clearance?

A
  • Direct-acting oral anticoagulants (DOACs)•Patients taking nephrotoxic drugs (examples include vancomycin andamphotericin B)
  • Elderly patients (aged 75 years and older)•Patients at extremes of muscle mass (BMI <18 kg/m2 or >40 kg/m2)
  • Patients taking medicines that are largely renally excreted and have anarrow therapeutic index, such as digoxin and sotalol

•Attempt to limit adverse effects of loss ofrenal function
•Institute renal replacement

Q

what are the early stages of CKD like?

A

asymptomatic-As kidney function worsens patients will accumulate uraemic toxins and develop symptoms such as- nausea/vom

21
Q

what happens in CKD stages 4/5?

A

Hyperkalaemia
–Uraemia
–Anaemia
–Impaired Vitamin D metabolism leading tohyperparathyroidism which in turn affects boneturnover

22
Q

what are the 3 key interventions?

A
  • Glycaemic control (for diabetics)
  • Blood pressure control
  • Reducing proteinuria
23
Q

what will progression of CKD depends on?

A

depends on the cause

24
Q

is Hyperglycaemia an independent risk factor for nephropathy?

A

yes

25
Q

what effect does glycemic control have?

A

Glycaemic control has been shown to reducethe development of microalbuminuria andtherefore reduces the progression of diabeticrenal disease.
•Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitorsand angiotensin II receptor blockers havebeen shown to have renoprotective effects inearly and late nephropathy caused by type 2diabetes, by reducing microalbuminuria.

26
Q

what effect does intervention of blood pressure have?

A

Control of blood pressure has been demonstrated toslow the progression of CKD in several trials.
•Aim to keep blood pressure below 140/90mmHg
•In Diabetes and CKD or if ACR is > 70mg/mmol aim to keep blood pressure below 130/80mmHg

27
Q

what is primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular risk?

A

Offer statin for primary prevention depending on calculated cardiovascular risk
•Offer statin for secondary prevention regardless of baseline lipid
•Aspirin should only be offered as secondaryprevention.

28
Q

what drugs are used to aid management of CKD?

A

Loop diuretics, to increase urine volume andNa+excretion
•Acetazolamide, to correct metabolic alkalosisassociated with the vomiting due to renalfailure.
•Antihypertensive drugsto control thehypertension associated with chronic renalfailure.•They reduce the rate of decline in renalfunction
.•ACEIs, ARBs

29
Q

what do Antiemetics do?

A

control the nausea and vomiting experienced by many patients inlate renal failure.

30
Q

what does Recombinant human erythropoietin do?

A

treat the anemia that develops following the lossof a major source of erythropoietin from peritubular cells in the renal cortex.

31
Q

how do we control Hyperphosphataemia?

A

Dietary restriction of food with high phosphatecontent (milk, cheese and egg)
•Use of phosphate binding drugs (calcium carbonate& aluminium hydroxide) administered with food

32
Q

why do we have to take care with drug therapy?

A

Diminished excretion of drugs primarily excreted via the kidney, may cause drug concentrations to increase dangerously.
•Some drugs are ineffective when renal function deteriorates.

33
Q

what is the solution used in peritoneal dialysis?

A

1.5%, 2.5% and 4.24%dextrose conc.

34
Q

hemodialysis is more efficient than peritoneal dialysis true/ false?

A

true

35
Q

what age do they not tend to give transplantations over?

A

70

36
Q

what is a frequent effect of a partial or complete obstruction is a dilation of the renal pelvic called?

A

hydronephrosis

37
Q

does obstructiions of the urinary tract reduce or increase EGFR

A

reduce

38
Q

what are the 3 types of urinary tract obstructions?

A

extrinsic,
Intramural
Intraluminal

39
Q

what is the Renal Calculi?

A

Develop by precipitation of hardly soluble salts in the kidney or the subsequent tubule of the urinary tract
- relation to the impairment of metabolism /filtration and re-absorption

40
Q

what are the 5 types of renal calculi?

A 
calcium oxalate-Small, smooth or spiky
calcium phosphate-Slightly larger more friable
uric acid-May be large
struvite-staghorn
cystine-Pale yellow, may be large
41
Q

what causes calcium oxalate calculi?

A

Hyperparathyroidism, hypercalciuria, hypocitraturia, hyperoxaluria, hyperuricosuria

42
Q

what causes calcium phosphate calculi?

A

Distal renal tubular acidosis

43
Q

what causes uric acid calculi?

A

Low urinary pH, Hyperuricosuria

44
Q

what causes struvite calculi?

A

infection with urease-producing microorganisms

45
Q

what causes cystine calculi?

A

Cystinuria

46
Q

what does struvite stones contain?

A

Contain magnesium- ammonium-phosphate often mixed with significant amount of matrix

47
Q

what does the matrix entail?

A

–organic material usually caused by tissue damage

–Urea splitting pathogens promoted growth of infection calculi

48
Q

what are cystinic stones associated with and why?

A

Associated with genetic disorder of the amino acid metabolism
•Leads to excretion of large volumes of cystine in urine combined with a urinary pH of 5.5or less

49
Q

where is the renal papilla located?

A

In the kidney the renal papilla is the location where the Medullary pyramids empty urine into the renal pelvis
