disease.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) Chronic kidney disease is defined based on the presence of either kidney damage or decreased kidney function for three or more months, irrespective of cause.

End-Stage Renal Disease(ESRD)Advanced CKD requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) in order to maintain life.

Major Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease Cause Examples Chronic tubulointerstitial nephropathies

Glomerulopathies (primary) Focal glomerulosclerosis Idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis IgA nephropathyMembranoproliferative glomerulonephritisMembranous nephropathy

Glomerulopathies associated with systemic disease DM,AmyloidosisHemolytic-uremic syndromePostinfectious glomerulonephritisSLEWegener's granulomatosis

Hereditary nephropathies Hereditary nephritis (Alport's syndrome)Medullary cystic diseaseNail-patella syndromePolycystic kidney disease

Hypertension Malignant glomerulosclerosisNephroangiosclerosis

Obstructive uropathy Benign prostatic hyperplasiaPosterior urethral valvesRetroperitoneal fibrosisUreteral obstruction (congenital, calculi, malignancies)Vesicoureteral reflux

Renal macrovascular disease Renal artery stenosis

CKD Incidence CKD Prevalence

Prevalence is estimated to be 8—16% worldwide

Pathophysiology of CKD

Loss of nephron mass

Structural and functional hypertrophy of the remaining nephrons

Restoration of

GFR

Kidney damage, as defined by structural abnormalities or functional abnormalities other than decreased GFR

Glomerular HyperperfusionHyperfiltrationHypertension

Chronic renal failure represents the end result of conditions that greatly reduce renal function by destroying renal nephrons and producing a marked decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Factors Affecting The Progression of CKD

Non modifiable susceptibility factors• Age• Gender• Genetics• Race

Initiation factors• Glomerulonephritis• TIN• Hypertension• Diabetes• Dyslipidemia

Modifiable risk factors• ?

Modulating factors of progressive renal scarring

•Genetic/Racial/ gender-related•Systemic and intraglomerular hypertension•The degree of proteinuria• Intrarenal deposition of Ca, P, urate•Hyperlipidemia (LDL)•Use of NSAIDs(Pg inhibitors)•High protein diet•Persistent metabolic acidosis•Extent of tubulointerstitial disease

Screening for chronic kidney diseasepatients who are at risk for developing CKD should be screened with both • a urine test for proteinuria and • a blood test for creatinine to estimate glomerular

filtration rate (GFR). Risk factors for CKD • History of diabetes, cardiovascular disease,

hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, metabolic syndrome, smoking, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis C virus infection, and malignancy

• Family history of kidney disease• Treatment with potentially nephrotoxic drugs

DIAGNOSIS OF CKD Careful history taking and physical examination

Assessment of renal function by estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)

Careful examination of the urine

Radiographic imaging of the kidneys

Serologic testing and tissue diagnosis with renal biopsy if noninvasive evaluation is not sufficient for diagnosis

Assessment of renal functionGFR = [UCr x V]/SCr60 kg woman:

SCr = 1.2 mg/dL (106 micromol/L)UCr = 100 mg/dL (8800 micromol/L)V = 1.2 L/day

• CrCl = [100 x 1.2]/1.2 = 100 L/day

• This value has to be multiplied by 1000 to convert into mL and then divided by 1440 (the number of minutes in a day) to convert into units of mL/min.

• CrCl = [100 x 1000]/1440 = 70 mL/min

Estimation equations • Cockcroft-Gault • MDRD • CKD-EPI

• Cockcroft-Gault equation

(140 - age) x lean body weight [kg]• CCr (mL/min) = ——————————————— Cr [mg/dL] x 72For woman X0.85

Daily acid production:1mmol H/kg bw

Acids consume buffersHCO3

HCO3 is regenerated in the kidneyReabsorbed from the ultrafiltrate

maintaining plasma HCO3 concentrations

H+ excreted in the urine combines with NH3 NH4 +

No change in arterial pH/ plasma HCO3 until GFR < 30% of normal

Metabolic acidosis in CKD is due to:• Decreased nephron mass• Leading to limited NH4 production and HCO3 regeneration

METABOLIC ACIDOSIS IN CKD

Plasma HCO3 (24mEq/L) Decreased (14-18 mEq/L)

pH and stable HCO3 levels maintained at the expense of buffering by bone (CaPO4-CaHCO3)

UREMIC ‘TOXINS’

Products of protein and amino acid metabolism:

▫Urea (80% of total (excreted nitrogen)▫Guanidino compounds

Guanidine Creatinine Creatin

▫Urates and Hippurates▫End - products of nucleic acid metabolism▫End - products of aliphatic amine metabolism▫End – products of aromatic amino acid

metabolism▫Other nitrogenous substances

UREMIC TOXINS

•Advanced glycation end-products•Parathyroid hormone• Inhibitors of somatomedin and insulin

action•β–melanocyte–stimulating hormone•Glucagon•Luteinizing hormone•Prolactin

•Uremic toxins cause:

▫Anorexia▫Malaise▫Pigmentation▫Vomiting▫Pruritus▫Headache▫Platelet dysfunction (Guanidinosuccinic acid)

Pigmentation: a diffuse brown pigmentation is typical of longstanding renal failure; it may be caused by retention of β–melanocyte–stimulating hormone.

Nodular prurigo: extensive nodular prurigo associated with severe pruritus (note the scratch marks) in a man with advanced renal failure shortly before the initiation of renal replacement therapy.
