• Intensive glycemic control lessens progression from microalbuminuria in Type 1 diabetes–goal in Type 2 is less clear- DCCT, 1993
- ACCORD, 2008
• Antihypertensive therapy with ACE Inhibitors or ARBs lessens proteinuria and progression- Giatras, et al., 1997- Psait, et al., 2000- Jafar, et al., 2001
• Blood pressure below 130/80 is beneficial- Sarnak, et al., 2005
We can have an impact on progression of CKD
Incidence of ESRD has leveled off, perhaps because of better use of preventive measures

2 simple tests will identify CKD in adults
• eGFR - Estimated GFR from serum creatinine using the MDRD equation
• UACR - Urine albumin to creatinine ratio on a “spot” urine sample
• 24-hour urine collections are NOT needed
- Diabetics should be tested once a year. Others at risk can be tested less frequently as long as normal.
• MDRD estimating equation is not applicable to children
• Updated Schwartz formula provides reasonable estimate in children with mild-moderate CKD
(GFR – 15-75 mL/min/1.73 m2)
Updated Schwartz Formula
eGFR = k * Ht/Scr
Where k=0.4, Ht in cm and Scr in mg/dL and measured by enzymatic methodology
Estimation of GFR in children
Caveats to eGFR
• An estimate based on population data--not the patient’s actual GFR
• Not reliable when used with patients:
– with GFR above 60 ml/ min/1.73 m2
– with rapidly changing creatinine levels (e.g., acute renal failure in the ICU)
– with extremes in muscle mass, e.g. cachexia or paraplegia
– under age 18

Impact of treatment
Risk of ESA use includes increase cardio-vascular events like MI/Stroke, worsening HTN and progression of solid tumors
Maximize iron stores before using ESA
Read the FDA black box warning and consent patients before ESA use
ESA use and correction of Hb above 10 decreases transfusion need and hence better chance to get kidney transplant

What can primary care providers do?
• Recognize and test at-risk patients
• Educate patients about CKD and treatment
• Focus on good glycemic control in people with diabetes
• For those with CKD:– Blood pressure below 130/80
– Use an ACE inhibitor or ARB
– More than one drug is usually required
– A diuretic should be part of the regimen

What can primary care providers do?(Continued)
• Monitor eGFR and UACR
• Treat cardiovascular risk, especially with smokers and hypercholesterolemia
• Screen for anemia (Hgb), malnutrition (albumin), metabolic bone disease (Ca, Phos, PTH)
• Refer to dietitian for nutritional guidance
• Consult or team with a nephrologist
• Encourage labs to report estimated eGFR and urine albumin/creatinine ratios
Nephrology referral suggestions
• To assist with diagnostic challenge (e.g. decision to biopsy)
• To assist with therapeutic challenge (e.g. blood pressure)
• Rapid decay of estimated GFR
• Most primary kidney diseases, (e.g. glomerulonephridites)
• Preparation for renal replacement therapy, especially when GFR less than 30
Nephrology referral suggestions, cont.
• Regardless of when you refer:
• Obtaining preliminary evaluation (e.g. ultrasound, screening serologies)
• Providing consultant with patient history including serial measures of renal function

Primary care providers –First line of defense against CKD
• Primary care professionals can play a significant role in early diagnosis, treatment, and patient education
• Therapeutic interventions for diabetic CKD are similar to those required for optimal diabetes care
• Control of glucose, blood pressure, and lipids
• A greater emphasis on detecting CKD, and managing it prior to referral, can improve patient outcomes
CKD is Part of Primary Care
