Q

CKD Clinical treatment goals (6)

A
  1. BP - <130/80
  2. Albuminuria - reduction >30% uACR
  3. Gylcaemic control - HbA1c <7%
  4. Potassium - K <6.0

Q

Screening kidney check + cut-offs (just for CKD or not)

A

BP + uACR + eGFR
uACR >3mg/mmol
- rpt for 3 over 3 months, if 2/3 >3 = CKD
eGFR <60
- Rpt in 7 days, if >20% drop = AKI
- Rpt at 3 months, if 2/3 <60 = CKD

Q

Risk factors for CKD (9 - 2,3,2,2)

A
  • Age >60
  • First Nations >18yo
  • DM
  • HTN
  • Established CVD
  • BMI >30
  • Smoking (prev or current)
  • Hx of AKI
  • FHx of CKD

2 mates 18yo first nations Mr Long, and 60yo Mr Shot. Bond over the fact they both have HTN, obese, diabetes, established CVD. Both have had AKIs which is scary as they have a FHX of CKD. Positively they have both quit smoking
