Pathologic Abnormalities?
By Radiology (US, CT, MR, etc)--e.g.
Multiple cysts consistent with PKD
Extensive scarring
Small kidneys--but be careful of the term “medical
renal disease”.
REMEMBER: Renal masses or cysts that are not
simple should be referred to a UROLOGIST!!
By Histology--ie, renal biopsy
Defining “Kidney Damage”
Tubulointerstitial inflammation
RENAL SCARRING
Pathogenic Mechanisms of High Blood
Pressure in CKD
Pre-existing essential hypertension
Extracellular fluid volume expansion
Renin-agniotensin aldosterone system stimulation
Increased sympathetic activity
Alteration in endothelium-derived factors(NO/endothelin)
Increased body weight
Erythropoietin administration
PTH secretion/hypercalcemia
calcified arterial tree
renal vascular disease and renal artery stenosis
Equation for CKD
Serum Creatinine, CrCl, and eGFR--
Nothing is Perfect!
Serum Creatinine alone CAN NOT be used to
accurately assess level of kidney function.
S. creatinine is a function of production (muscle
mass) and excretion (both GFR and tubular
secretion).
Age, sex, and lean body mass have to be taken into
account.
Estimations of eGFR (MDRD equation) and CrCl
(Cockcroft-Gault equation) were NOT developed in
subjects with normal renal function or normal health.
Factors Affecting Serum Creatinine
Concentration
Increase Decrease
Kidney Disease Reduced Muscle Mass
Ketoacidosis Malnutrition
Ingestion of cooked meat
Drugs:
Trimethoprim
Cimetidine
Flucytosine
Some cephalosporins
Remember….
GFR normally decreases with age!
Cockcroft-Gault Equation to Predict
GFR
Developed to predict creatinine clearance, thus an
overestimate of GFR
Prediction based on age, gender, creatinine and ideal
body weight
ClCr (cc/min) = [140-age] x IBW/72 x SCr x [0.85 if
female]

Cockcroft-Gault vs. MDRD
The MDRD equation estimates GFR.
eGFR is given per 1.73m2 BSA
The Cockcroft-Gault equation estimates
CrCl.
CrCl is best used for drug dosing decisions--
drug dosing is usually indexed to CrCl.

GUIDELINE 13. LOSS OF KIDNEY FUNCTION IN CKD
Interventions to slow the progression should be considered in all patients with CKD
Mechanisms
Lower systemic blood pressure
Lower glomerular capillary blood pressure and
protein filtration
Reduce AT II mediated cell proliferation and
fibrosis
Tubulointerstitial inflammation
ACEI
RENAL SCARRING
ARB
Interventions that delay progression
of CKD: ACEI and ARBs
Diabetic Kidney Disease
ACEI or ARB in all diabetic patients with microalbuminuria
ACEI (alt ARB) for Type 1 Diabetics with macroalbuminuria
ARB (alt. ACEI) in Type 2 Diabetics with macroalbuminuria
Nondiabetic Kidney Disease
ACEI/ARB recommended in all proteinuric (>200 mg/g Cr on
spot urine) patients with CKD
May tolerate creatinine rise of 35% above baseline
<130/80 is goal
3 or more drugs may be required! One will probably be a
diuretic (thiazide first, then loop)
ACEI and ARB may be used in combination

Anemia and CKD
• Anemia usually develops during the course of chronic
kidney disease and may be associated with adverse
outcomes.
• Anemia is one of the modifiable complications of CKD .
• All individuals with hemoglobin (Hb) levels lower than
physiologic norms are considered anemic.
Erythropoietin deficiency is the primary cause of anemia of CKD.
The NKF recommends that evaluation for anemia should occur
when GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2; measurement should include
Hb level.
Anemia should be treated according to the K/DOQI TM guidelines
for anemia of CKD.
K/DOQI: Evaluation and Management of
Anemia
For Adults with ≥ Stage 3 CKD:
Assess Hemoglobin level
If anemia (HgB ≤ 12)
RBC indices/CBC
Reticulocyte count
Iron studies
Test for occult GI bleeding as indicated
Medical evaluation of comorbid conditions
Erythropoetin levels are usually NOT indicated.
Prevention of Uremic Complications:
Anemia Therapy
Subcutaneous administration of erythropoietin
once to thrice weekly (sometimes less).
Supplemental oral or IV iron to keep ferritin >
100 and iron saturation >20%.
Monthly monitoring of Hgb, iron stores.
Monthly adjustments in EPO dose and
frequency to meet target Hgb 11-12 g/dl
(HCT 33-36%).

When to Refer!
Consider co-management with a nephrologist if the
clinical action plan cannot be carried out.
Consider subspecialty referral when*:
Unexplained proteinuria (>1gm/day) or microalbumin/Cr ratio
>250mg albumin/gCr
Unexplained macroscopic or microscopic hematuria
Diabetes and macroalbuminuria
Multiple and recurring kidney stones
Rapidly deteriorating kidney function
Difficult to control hypertension
Refer to a nephrologist when GFR <30 mL/min/1.73
m2 (CKD Stages 4-5)!
