This document discusses laboratory parameters for managing chronic kidney disease (CKD). It covers direct and indirect methods of nutritional assessment, modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for CKD, types of assays including static and functional, targets for assay accuracy and precision, categories and specific tests of renal function including glomerular filtration rate (GFR) tests. It addresses factors that can interfere with creatinine levels, patient preparation, reference ranges, and interpretation of creatinine concentrations. Stages of CKD and roles in patient safety are outlined. Alternative ways to identify early CKD and approaches for the future are proposed.

Accuracy of Laboratory Parameters in Management of CKD.
1. Accuracy of Laboratory Parameters
in Management of CKD.
College of Medical Laboratory Science, Sri Lanka
2. Direct Methods of
Nutritional Assessment
• Anthropometric methods
• Medical Laboratory methods
• Clinical methods
• Dietary evaluation methods
CMLS.SL 2
3. CKD Risk Factors
Modifiable
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• History of AKI
• Frequent NSAID use
Non-Modifiable
• Family history of kidney
disease, diabetes, or
hypertension
• Age 60 or older (GFR
declines normally with
age)
• Race/U.S. ethnic minority
status
CMLS.SL 3
4. Types of Assays
• Static assays: measures the actual level of
the component in the specimen (serum
iron, Serum electrolytes)
• Functional Assays: measure a
biochemical or physiological activity that
depends on the component of interest (eg:
Glycated haemoglobin, Creatinine)
• Functional assays are not always specific
to the component
CMLS.SL 4
6. • Detect renal
damage
• Monitor functional
damage
• Help determine
etiology
Categories of renal function tests
CMLS.SL 6
7. • glomerular filtration
rate=GFR
• plasma creatinine= Pcr
• plasma urea-Purea
• urine volume= V
• urine urea- Uurea
• cystatin C in plasma?
• urine protein
• urine glucose
• hematuria
• Osmolality
• Electrolytes
Tests of renal function
CMLS.SL 7
8. Tests of Glomerular Filtration Rate
• Urea
• Creatinine
• Creatinine Clearance
• eGFR
• Cystatin C
CMLS.SL 8
9. GFR & Creatinine
• Ideal Marker
• Produced normally by the body
• Produced at a constant rate
• Filtered across glomerular membrane
• Removed from the body only by the
kidney filtered only, not reabsorbed or
secreted
CMLS.SL 9
11. Interfering factors for elevated S. Creatinine
• Destruction of muscle
• High dietary intake of meat
• Hypothyroidism
• higher average muscle mass (Eg Afro-Caribbean)
• increase in musculature (Eg. Bodybuilding
• Drugs
• Some Cephalosporins
Interference with alkaline picrate assay
• Corticosteroids and vitamin D metabolites
Modify the production rate & the release of creatinine
• Artifactual (Eg. Diabetic Ketoacidosis)
CMLS.SL 11
12. Interfering factors for Reduced S. Creatinine
• Increasing age
Age-related decline in muscle mass
• Females - reduced muscle mass
• Malnutrition/ muscle wasting / amputation
Reduced muscle mass ± reduced protein intake
• Vegetarian diet
• Dehydration
• Hyperthyroidism
• Icteric Serum Specimens
Eg: Due to elevated Bilirubin
• Drugs - Testosterone therapy
Eg: Cimetidine, Trimethoprim, Sulphamethoxazole, Fibric acid D
CMLS.SL 12
13. Patient Preparation for S. Creatinine
• No Specific patient preparation
• Dose adjustment or stop taking some interfering
drugs on clinicians advice
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen
• Chemotherapy drugs
• Cephalosporin
• Cimetidine
• Interpret results with related to drug history
14. Reference Range – S. Creatinine
Male
Infant - Not established
Age 1-2 years - 0.1–0.4 mg/dL
Age 3-4 years - 0.1–0.5 mg/dL
Age 5-9 years - 0.2-0.6 mg/dL
Age 10-11 years - 0.3-0.7 mg/dL
Age 12-13 years - 0.4-0.8 mg/dL
Age 14-15 years - 0.5-0.9 mg/dL
Age 16 years or older - 0.8-1.3 mg/dL
Female
Infant - Not established
Age 1-3 years - 0.1–0.4 mg/dL
Age 4-5 years - 0.2–0.5 mg/dL
Age 6-8 years - 0.3-0.6 mg/dL
Age 9-15 years - 0.4-0.7 mg/dL
Age 16 years or older - 0.6-1.1 mg/dL
CMLS.SL 14
15. Serum Creatinine Concentration
• Normally 0.7-1.4 mg/dl, depending on
muscle mass
• Inversely proportional to GFR
• Good way to follow changes in GFR
• BUT also elevated by muscle mass,
tubular secretion
CMLS.SL 15
16. Tests that predict kidney disease
• eGFR
• Albumin Creatinine Ratio
(ACR or Microalbumin)

Who Should be Involved in the
Patient Safety Approach to CKD?
Patient safety
Consult?
CMLS.SL 17
18. Alternatives of identifying
CKD Stage 1
• Higher than normal levels of creatinine or urea
in the blood
• Blood or protein in the urine
• Evidence of kidney damage in an MRI, CT
scan, ultrasound or contrast X-ray
• A family history of polycystic kidney disease
(PKD)
CMLS.SL 18
24. Future Approach
• Can serum creatinine be made more
sensitive by adding more information?
• Does it required an easy test to screen risk
group in GFR that can apply at risk
populations
• Can we assure patient centered health care
service with novel collaborative co
management model
