What is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Defining CKD
Kidney damage for 3 months as defined by structural or functional abnormalities of the kidney, with or without decreased GFR, manifest by either: Pathological abnormalities; or Markers of kidney damage, including abnormalities in the
composition of the blood or urine, or abnormalities in imaging testing
Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for 3 months, with or without structural kidney damage

Identifying patients at risk:National Kidney Foundation Recommendations
(KDOQI)
Individuals at increased risk for CKD should be tested at the time of health evaluations to determine if they have CKD. This should include patients with:- DM HTN Autoimmune diseases Chronic systemic infections Recovery from acute renal failure Age > 60yrs Family history of kidney disease Exposure to drugs or procedures associated with an acute decline in
kidney function Kidney donors and transplant recipients
(AJKD, 39, 2002, pS214)
Relationship of Serum Creatinine to GFR
Estimation of GFR
GFR can be assessed by the renal clearance of a substance
Clearance of substance X (Cx) = UxVx/Sx
Recall GFR * Sx = UxVx
(amount filtered = amount excreted) Cx = UxV/Sx
Cx = GFR
Two important assumptions: Marker neither secreted or absorbed Steady state
Examples of markers: inulin, iothalamate, iohexol, serum creatinine, cystatin-C
Calculation of GFR
Methods of calculation Cockcroft-Gault formula MDRD formula/modified MDRD

GFR ml/min/1.73m2 = (140-age) x Lean BW Kg

Calcium and Phosphorus Balance:National Kidney Foundation Recommendations
(KDOQI) In addition, it has become clear that CKD patients have a nutritional
deficiency of 25-OH Vitamin D which itself leads to an increase in PTH secretion
Levels of 25-OH D should be measured when PTH-Intact >70pg/ml and supplementation instituted if necessary, a level of <30ng/ml is abnormal and <15ng/ml, moderate to severe
Treatment <5ng/ml 50,000U Ergocalciferol/wk x12, then q mo x6 5-15ng/ml 50,000/wk x 4, then q mo x 6 16-30ng/ml 50,000/month x 6

How are these goals achieved ? Control of dietary phosphorus intake to 0.8-1g/d May need initiation of “Phosphate binders” with meals When 25(OH)-D >30pg/ml and PTH-I > target, initiate
treatment with exogenous “Active Vitamin D” A few patients with very elevated PTH-I values may
benefit from Calcimimetics

Hyperkalemia
A common reason for initiation of RRT
The kidney is the only route for excretion of dietary intake, thus there is limited excretion as GFR falls, potentially leading to increased serum levels
Many patients with CKD also have a tendency to retain potassium because of stimulation of the Renin/Angio/Aldo system
Diabetics may have a type IV RTA (hyporeninemic hyperaldosteronism)
Use of ACE-I can exacerbate hyperkalemia
