What are the important markers for prescribing in the face of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease)
A normal GFR or (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is about 120 ml/minute.
Stage 1 CKD > 90 ml/min.
Stage 2 CKD 60-89 ml/min.
Stage 3 CKD 30-59 ml/min. Must adjust dosages - referal to nephrology
Stage 4 CKD 15-29 ml/min.
Stage 5 CKD < 15 ml/min. = dialysis needed

Liver enzymes
Where are COX 1 and 2 found? What do they do?
COX-1 and COX-2 are found in the blood vessels, kidneys and stomach.
Cox-1 will make your backgound/baseline prostaglandin and Cox-2 will help make more when stimulated to do so.
So if we can inhibit cox-2 selectively we can mediate inflammation.
What is nociception
the neural process of encoding noxious stimuli, mechanical, chemical, and thermal.
Processed along alpha-delta and C fibers up the posterior horn of the spinal cord. Crossovers in transmission can lead to somatic pain.
Where is nociceptive pain found
Nociceptive=
Somatic - skin, muscle, joints, bones and CT, sharp local and reproducible
Visceral - Organs of the 3 cavities, stretch, inflammation, ischemia
Where is non-nociceptive pain found?

* Not from specific receptors but from nerve cell dysfunction
Neuropathic - nerves of the CNS or PNS, impingement, degeneration, infection.
Sympathetic - possibly due to overaction in SNS/CNS/PNS, post-trauma; casalgia,, RSD, CRPS(complex regional pain syndrome)
How to treat Neuropathic pain?
Anti epileptic drugs, tricyclics, NMDA antagonists, topical capsacin, partly responsive to NSAIDs and opioids
How to treat Sympathetic CRPS pain?
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
