CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE
• CKD refer to an irreversible deterioration in renal function
• Usually develops over period if years Stages of chronic kidney disease Causes Physical signs in advanced CKD INVESTIGATIONS Proteinuria • Albumin-to-creatinine ratio(ACR) - >3.0 mg/mmol is diagnostic for chronic kidney disease, urine testing should be repeated in another 3 months Creatine clearance/eGFR • E.g : 56 yo male, 70 kg, serum creatinine- 150
(140-56x70/150) x 1.23 = 48.2
P.S: google gfr calculator Ultrasound General indications for renal ultrasound • rapid deterioration of renal function (loss of eGFR >5 ml/min/1.73 m2 • within one year or 10 ml/min/1.73 m2 within five years) • haematuria • symptoms or history of urinary tract obstruction • family history of polycystic kidney disease and age over 20 years • when a renal biopsy is indicated Treatment • Blood pressure control: ACEi/ARB should be used as first-line agent in • Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) with albuminuria • Non-DKD when urinary protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day • Non-DKD with hypertension when urinary protein excretion ≥0.5 g/ day • Glycaemic Control: • The target HbA1c should be ≤7% in diabetic kidney disease but this should be individualized according to co-morbidities and age • Protein Restriction: • Low protein diet (0.6 - 0.8 g/kg/day) with adequate energy intake (30 - 35 kcal/kg/day) may be given in chronic kidney disease stage 3 – 5 • Dietary protein restriction should be supervised by a dietitian. End Stage Renal Failure • Irreversible kidney dysfunction with eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 with manifestation of uremia requiring chronic renal replacement therapy with either dialysis or renal transplantation
