30 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
CrCl
CrCl=(140-age)IBW/ (SCr x 72)
women x 0.85

use LBW if morbidly obese
Complications of CKD and ESRD
build up of waste products in blood
edema, fluid overload, CV complications
metabolic acidosis
anemia
renal osteodystrophy ( inc. PTH)
Uremia effects
encephalopathy
uremic fetor
pulmonary edema
sodium retention, volume overload
anorexia, NV, constipation, metallic taste
renal osteodystrophy and restless leg sydrome
EPO deficiency
How should you treat CKD or ESRD associated fluid retention
maintain Na+ intake

avoid large amounts of free water

Give diuretic
How should you treat diuretic resistance in CKD or ESRD patients
Long-term: Add a thiazide
(HCTZ 50-100mg daily-mild; 100-200mg daily-severe)

Short-term: give dose more often or give continuous infusion
Why does diuretic resistance occur?
Cells in the distal tubule recognize the high Na+ fluid-> try to hypertrophy and take in Na+
When should ethacrynic acid be used?
Pt is allergic to loops
Na+ imbalances
no salt added diet

use saline IV solutions with caution
Treatment of Hyperkalemia in ESRD or CKD
dialysis
calcium gluconate IV
nebulized albuterol
insulin + glucose
Kayexalate (15-30g between dialysis)
sodium bicarb (not for ESRD)
Name the three key problems in renal bone disease
hyperphosphatemia
hypocalcemia
dec.Vit D
Ca x Phos
> 55 -> patient at risk for soft tissue calcification
K+
4.5-5.5mEq/L
Treatment of hyperphosphatemia- calcium containing phosphate binders
Calcium Carbonate (Tums)-500mg elemental calcium, Calcium acetate (PhosLo)-169mg elemental calcium (2-3)...with meals
Do not exceed 1500mg/day elemental calcium
Treatment of hyperphosphatemia
non calcium containing phosphate binders
Aluminum hydroxide- only short term (4 wks); severe cases(phos>7mg/dl); SE constipation, aluminum toxicity

MagCarb- not well studied

Sevelamer carbonate (Renvela)
Phos 5.5-7.5mg/dL- 800mg TID
Phos >7.5mg/dL- 1600mg TID
dec. LDL by 15-30%
dec. uric acid

Lanthanum carbonate (Fosrenol)
want acidic stomach
does not cross BBB
eliminated in feces-no LT accumulation
Phosphorous
3-4.5mg/dL
Dietary restrictions for hyperphosphatemia
restrict to 800-1000mg/day if:
Phos> 4.6 CKD stage 3,4
Phos>5.5 CKD stage 5
PTH> target range for CKD 3,4,5
Foods high in phosphorous
meats
dairy products
dried beans
nuts
colas
beer

inactive vit D
for CKD stage 3,4
50,000IU capsule/month
Calcitriol (Rocaltrol and Calcijex)
For CKD stage 5 and CKD 3,4 with inc. PTH conc

greatest incidence of hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia

monitor: Ca, Phos, iPTH, Ca x Phos
Paricalcitol (Zemplar)
For CKD stage 5 and CKD 3,4 with inc. PTH conc

less calcemic activity compared to calcitriol
>30% reduction in PTH
most favorable ADE profile

monitor: Ca, Phos, iPTH, Ca x Phos
Doxercalciferol
prohormone, so can't give to liver failure pts

higher incidence of hyperphosphatemia compared to hyperphosphatemia
lower incidence of hypercalcemia compared to calcitriol
>30% reduction in PTH
Sensipar
Inc. sensitivity of Ca sensing receptors

Dec. PTH, Ca, Phos

SE: N/V/D, chest pain, weakness, muscle cramps
Serum PTH

Goal Ca: 9-10mg/dl
Goal Phos: 2.7-4.6mg/dl
