2 main causes of chronic kidney failure
HTN
DM
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) definition
Kidney damage for ≥ 3 months with or
without a decrease in GFR
Stage 0 CKD
Stage 1: Pre-clinical CKD
GFR ≥ 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 + evidence of kidney damage
Stage 2 (Mild CKD):
GFR= 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m2 + evidence of kidney
damage
Stage 3 (Moderate CKD):
GFR = 30-59 ml/min/1.73 m2
Stage 4 (Severe CKD):
GFR = 15-29 ml/min/1.73m2
Stage 5 (Kidney Failure):
GFR <15 ml/min/1.73 m2
Goal: renal replacement therapy, treat complications
Screening for CKD
Goal is to identify patients before stage 3
when do you use the MDRD equation
used for the staging of disease
Initiation factors for CDK
Diabetic Kidney Disease
Vascular (Hypertensive
Nephrosclerosis)
Glomerulonephritis
Tubulointerstitial
Polycystic Kidney Disease
(PKD)
Diabetic Kidney Disease initial kidney changes
mesangial expansion, GBM thickening --> glomerulosclerosis & arterionephrosclerosis
Vascular (Hypertensive
Nephrosclerosis) initial kidney changes
hyaline deposits & thickening of renal
arterioles, a process known as
nephrosclerosis
Glomerulonephritis initial kidney changes
variety on non-immune or immune imbalances which damage the glomeruli
Tubulointerstitial initial kidney changes
long-term exposure to analegesic, heavy metals or toxins

damages tubules
Polycyctic kidney disease (PKD)
genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys
Negative consequence of adaptation=
progression of kidney failure

overtime the nephron dies

progession of damage
Insult to kidney (initiation factor) leads to loss of nephrons--->
adaptation---> increase in size and function of remaining nephrons
Solute balance is maintained through an..
Proteinuria causes?
Increase in cytokines wich leads to inflammatory cell inflamation--> glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrotic scaring-->damage and slow loss of remaining nephrons
Steps of Adaptation
1. loss of nephrons--> vasodialte afferent arteriole and vasoconstrict efferent arterial
2. increase GFR in remaining nephrons (due to increased glomerular pressure
3. capillary endothelial and epithelial dysfunction; basement membrane thickening; filtration barrier breakdown
(all of the above leads to proteinuria)
4. damage and slow loss of remaining nephrons
indicator of kidney damage
proteinuria
Tone of the afferent arteriole is controled by...
prostaglandin (vasodilator)

some angiotensin II activity
Tone of the efferent arteriole is controlled by...
Angiotensin II
Normal kidey flow
the afferent arteriole is dialated and the efferent is only slightly constricted

So glomerular pressure and GFR is normal
Kidney blood flow after adaptation
The Afferent arteriole is dialted due to prostaglandins so GFR increases

The efferent arteriole is constricted due to angiotensin II and therefore golmerular capillary pressure is increased
Intact filtration barrier prevents...
proteinuria
An intact filtration barrier consist of..
Epithelial Cells
(Podocytes):
Coated in (-) charged
glycosialoproteins-->
Charge exclusive

GBM:(-) charged glycosaminoglycans
-->Both charge & size exclusive
Direct Glomerular injury & ↑GCP lead to?
Damage
to Filtration Barrier--> Proteinuria
Factors that ↑ Progression of
Kidney Disease
Persistence of underlying initiation factor
Elevated blood pressure Microalbuminuria/proteinuria
Hyperglycemia (uncontrolled diabetes)
Dyslipidemia
Smoking
Genetics
obesity (don't know if is the obesity or the conditions associated with it)
Susceptibility
Factors for CKD
↑ susceptibility to
kidney damage
Examples of Susceptibility
Factors for CKD
Older age, family history of
CKD, reduction in kidney
mass, low birth weight, racial
or ethnic minority status, and
low income/education
Initiation
Factors of CKD
Directly initiate kidney
damage
Examples of Initiation
Factors of CKD
Diabetes, HTN, autoimmune
diseases, systemic infections,
UTIs, urinary stones, urinary
obstruction, drug toxicity, and
hereditary diseases
Progression
Factors of CKD
Cause worsening
kidney damage and
faster decline in kidney
function after initiation
of kidney damage
Examples of Progression
Factors of CKD
Albuminuria, uncontrolled
HTN, poor glycemic control in
diabetes, possibly
dyslipidemia and smoking
Reversing/Slowing Progression of CKD
Identification in early Stages is essential
Aggressive management of modifiable
“progression” factors
Goal BP in CKD
<130/80 mmHg

consider goal of < 125/75 only if >1gm/day proteinuria
Usual preferred drugs for BP control in CKD =
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-i) or
angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)

May need 2-3 drugs to get BP to goal:
Microalbuminuria
Macroalbuminuria
Normal Albuminuria*
< 30 mg/g
Persistent Microalbuminuria
30-300 mg/g
Persistent Macroalbuminuria
> 300 mg/g
How many test for albuminuria need to be (+) to determine the patients albumin levels?
Need 2 out of 3 tests (+) in a 3-6 month period (due to variability in test)

1st morning specimen (after waking) is ideal
Screening for Albuminuria
Diagnosis only made after 2 out of 3 samples (+)
during a 3-6 month time period
factors that can falsely ↑ albuminuria):
Patients with evidence of kidney disease,
with or without high blood pressure,
should be treated with...
An ACE inhibitor
or an ARB to reduce albuminuria
Goals of Therapy of Micro or Macroalbuminuria
Titrate therapy to:
Protective effects of ACE and ARBs
ACE block angiotensin and ARB block the recpeptor preventing efferent arteriole vasoconstriction

ARB block the recpeptor
In the long run ARBS and ACEs work by...
decreasing the glomerular pressure and reduce damage

adaptation in also reverse
Improve Glycemic Control
Can decrease progression in both
Type-1 and Type-2 diabetes
What is the gola for A1c?
A1c < 7.0%
Preventing Progression
Protein Restriction
dyslipidemia and preventing progression of CKD
Dyslipidemia: patients with stage 1-4 CKD
should be screened annually and treated
according to ATP III (NCEP) Guidelines
What other factor can prevent progression of CKD?
Smoking cessation
