CHRONIC KIDNEY
DISEASE

IM- Nephrology
Chronic Kidney Disease
v a spectrum of different
pathophysiologic processes associated
with abnormal kidney function and a
progressive decline in GFR
v ESRD UREMIC SYNDROME
Chronic Kidney Disease
v pathophysiology
1. inititiating mechanisms specific to the
underlying etiology
2. set of progressive mechanisms
(hyperfiltration and hypertrophy) with long
term reduction in renal mass
Leading Categories of Etiologies of CKD
KDIGO Classification of CKD
R I S K
v Cockcroft- Gault Formula
(140- Age) (wt. kg)
(72) (creatinine) * 0.85% for females
Classification of CKD
I. 35 yo II. 65 yo
male female
wt. 45 kgs 70 kgs
creatinine: 2 mg/dl 5 mg/dl
urine albumin: 500 mg/g 200 mg/g
Risk Factors for CKD
v small for gestational weight
v childhood obesity
v hypertension
v diabetes
v autoimmune disease
v advanced age
v African ancestry
v family hx of kidney disease
v AKI
v Proteinuria/sediment
v structural abnormalities
Classification of CKD
v normal decline of GFR: 1 ml/min per year:
120 ml/min/m3
v age 70: 70 ml/min/m3
Signs and Symptoms of CKD and Uremia:
HYPERNATREMIA
SODIUM Intake > urinary excretion
Sodium
Extracellular Fluid Volume Expansion
Retention
Nephron Injury Hypertension
Signs and Symptoms of CKD and Uremia:
HYPERKALEMIA
Increase dietary K intake
Protein Catabolism
Hemolysis/Hemorrhage
Transfusions
Metabolic Acidosis
Drugs
Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism
DECREASE GFR
DECREASE PO4 EXCRETION
FGF-23 PTH
DECREASE DECREASE
CALCITRIOL CALCIUM
Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism
Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism
Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism
Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism:
Calciphylaxis
v calcific uremic arteriolopathy
v exclusive on patients on advanced CKD
v vascular occlusion with extensive vascular
and soft tissue calcification
v hyperphosphatemia, hypercalcemia
v oral calcium for phosphate binder
v warfarin: decrease vitamin K dependent
regeneration of matrix GLA protein
Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism:
Calciphylaxis
Livedo reticularis
Patches of ischemic
necrosis
Legs, thighs, abdomen,
breast
Tx: hyperbaric O2
IV thiosulfate
discontinue drugs
Cardiovascular Abnormalities
v 10-200 fold
1. Ischemic Heart Disease
* Cardiac troponin I
2. Heart Failure: uremic cardio, AMI, LVH
3. Hypertension and LVH
4. Pericardial Disease
* PR depression and diffuse ST segment
elevation
Hematologic Abnormalities
Interstitial fibroblast
TARGET Hb: 100-115 g/L
Neuromuscular Abnormalities
v Peripheral Neuropathy
v Restless Leg Syndrome
Dermatologic Abnormalities
v Pruritus
v Hyperpigmentation
v Nephrogenic Fibrosing Nephropathy
MR contrast gadolinium
avoid: < 30 ml/min
