At the conclusion of this discussion, the
resident physician should be able to:
Diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Define the stages of CKD
Describe the evaluation of CKD
Discuss the modifiable risk factors for
progressive CKD
Case
CKL is a 68 year-old woman with DM and
HTN who presents for a routine visit. She
complains of mild fatigue and leg swelling
but is otherwise asymptomatic.
Medications:
HCTZ 25 mg/d
Insulin
Labs
18 months ago, her serum Cr: 1.5 mg/dL
MDRD
GFR (mL/min per 1.73 m2) = 186 x (SCr x 0.0113)-1.154 x
(age)-0.203 x (0.742 if female) x (1.12 if African-American)
Back to the patient…
Recheck her sCr: 1.7 mg/dL
MDRD: 32 mL/min/1.73 m2
