Q

Rx for Hyperparathyroidism in CKD

A

Treat hyperphosphatemia, vitamin D deficiency
If >150-200pg/mL, consider calcitriol or vitamin D analog
Do not use calcitriol if serum phosphate or corrected serum total calcium is elevated
Adjust dose to maintain PTH <150pg/mL

17
Q

Rx for HTN in CKD

A

Sodium restriction
ACEi/ARB
If edema, loop diuretic +/- thiazide diuretic
If no edema, diuretic or CCB (consider non-DHP CCB in proteinuria)
Resistent hypertension, consider spirinolactone

18
Q

Ix + rx for anemia in CKD

A

Work-up: CBC, retic, iron studies, ferritin, B12/folate, r/o GI loss
Replete iron stores if TSAT ≤30% and Ferritin ≤500ng/mL
eg. Venofer 300 mg IV q 2 weeks x 3 doses
If Hb<90 and iron replete or treated for iron deficiency consider Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA)
Aranesp 0.45 mcg/kg/week
Adverse: CVA, AVF clotting hypertension, cancer recurrence
Target Hb 100-115
Monitor Hb monthly until stable, Fe q3 months

19
Q

Complications of ESRD

A

Pericarditis/pleuritis
Uremic encephalopathy/neuropathy (confusion, asterixis, myoclonus, wrist/footdrop, seizures)
Uremic bleeding
Fluid overload refractory to diuretics (CHF/LVH)
Hypertension poorly responsive to medications
Metabolic disturbances
Hyperkalemia
Hyponatremia
Hyper/hypocalcemia
Hyperphosphatemia
Metabolic acidosis
Malnutrition
AKI
Drug toxicity
Infection
Hypothyroidism

20
Q

Management of hyperkalemia

A

Tx with IV calcium gluconate 1000mg over 2-3 mins, glucose + insulin, loop diuretics, fluids + D/C drugs that increase K
Insulin 10 units + ½ amp D50 IV

21
Q

RF for kidney stones

A

dehydration, meat, high sodium, chemo, acetazolamide, gout, hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, DM, bowel/ pancreatic dz

22
Q

Sx by location of kidney stones

A

Kidney: flank pain, hematuria
Proximal ureter: renal colic, flank pain, upper abdo pain
middle section ureter: renal colic, flank pain, anterior abdo pain
Distal ureter: renal colic, urinary frequency, dysuria

23
Q

Ix for kidney stones

A

UA + CS
Lytes, CBC, calcium, albumin, uric acid, CRP
If high calcium = test PTH + vit D
KUB XR + US

24
Q

Rx for kidney stones

A

Refer to nephro if urosepsis, anuria, renal failure, obstructed kidney, obstructed pyelo
Ureteral stone <5mm = expectant management, FU US 6mo + q1yr
Ureteral stone >5mm = refer to uro

extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
percutaneous nephrolithotomy
ureterorenoscopy
NSAIDs (CI if using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy)

Reduce salt intake
Reduce animal protein

Recurrent:
24hr urine collection for volume, pH, calcium, Cr, a, Ph, oxalate, citrate, uric acid + cystine levels

25
Q

Nephrotic syndrome features vs
Nephritic syndrome features

A

Nephrotic syndrome features: Proteinruria (>3.5g/d), Edema, Hypoalbuminemia, Hyperlipidemia

Nephritic syndrome features: Hematuria, RBC casts, Hypertension, Proteinuria (<3.5g/d)

26
Q

When to screen for CKD

A

HTN, CVD, DM, First nations, FDR w/ CKD

27
Q

How to screen + diagnose CKD

A

eGFR + urine ACR, then if eGFR <60 or urine ACR >3, repeat in 3mo, then dx if eGFR is still <60 and/ or ACR >3

28
Q

When to refer to renal

A

eGFR <30, ACR >60, eGFR <45 w/ rapid decline >5 in 6mo, BP not at target, abnormal lytes, hematuria, 5 yr KFRE >5%

29
Q

What is KFRE?

A

Kidney failure risk - if >5% over 5 yrs, need to refer
If not referring, monitor q6mo (eGFR, ACR, lytes, UA)

30
Q

CKD management

A

lifestyle modification, smoking cessation, statins if at risk, avoid nephrotoxins, adjust doses when sick, reduce BP, ACEi

31
Q

Which meds to reduce doses when dehydrated in CKD

A

SADMANS sulfonylureas, ACEi, diuretics, metformin, ARBs, NSAIDs, SGLT2i

32
Q

SGLT2 inhibitors; when are they CI, SE and impact on other organ systems

A

CI in T1DM, can drop eGFR, can lead to normoglycemic DKA, yeast vaginitis/ balinitis is common

33
Q

What is AKI spectrum?

A

Risk (eGFR >75% normal) - Injury (eGFR 50% normal) - Failure (eGFR 25% normal) - Loss (x4wk)- End stage (x3mo) (RIFLE)

34
Q

AKD vs AKI

A

AKD is when GFR is not decreasing

35
Q

What signs would you monitor in a pt with ?Mg toxicity?

A

Deep tendon reflexes, RR, BP

36
Q

Rx for Mg toxicity

A

10% calcium gluconate IV

37
Q

Rx for hypercalcemia

A

IVF, bisphosphonates, calcitonin, steroids, denosumab, dialysis
