PHARMACIST NOTES
• DISEASE INFORMATION ;-
 DEFINITION ;-
• Chronic renal failure, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD), is a long-term,
progressive condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to function properly. The
kidneys are crucial organs responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluids from the
blood, maintaining electrolyte balance, and regulating blood pressure. Chronic renal failure affects
these vital functions, leading to a build-up of waste products and fluid in the body, which can have
widespread effects on overall health.
 STAGES ;-
CKD is often classified into stages based on the level of kidney function,
which is measured by the glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
•Stage 1: Normal or high GFR (>90 mL/min) with kidney damage.
•Stage 2: Mild reduction in GFR (60-89 mL/min) with kidney damage.
•Stage 3: Moderate reduction in GFR (30-59 mL/min).
•Stage 4: Severe reduction in GFR (15-29 mL/min).
•Stage 5: Kidney failure (GFR <15 mL/min), also known as
end-stage renal disease (ESRD). At this stage, dialysis or kidney
transplantation is typically required.
 CAUSES ;-
Chronic renal failure can result from various underlying conditions , including ;-
Diabetes Mellitus: High blood sugar levels damage kidney blood vessels over time.
– Hypertension: High blood pressure puts strain on the kidneys' blood vessels.
– Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the glomeruli (the filtering units of the kidneys).
– Polycystic Kidney Disease: Genetic disorder causing fluid-filled cysts to form
in the kidneys.
– Chronic Urinary Tract Obstruction: Conditions like kidney stones or enlarged
prostate that obstruct urine flow.
– Chronic Use of Certain Medications: Some medications can cause kidney damage
over long-term use.
 SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS ;-
• Fatigue and Weakness: Decreased kidney function can lead to anemia, which often causes
fatigue and weakness.
• Swelling (Edema): Fluid retention can cause swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, or around the eyes.
• Changes in Urination: You might notice changes in the frequency or amount of urine, or you
might experience difficulty urinating.
• Urine with Blood or Protein: Blood or protein in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage.
[Hematuria or Proteinuria]
• Persistent Itching: Accumulation of waste products in the blood can cause itching.
• Nausea and Vomiting: Toxin buildup can lead to nausea and vomiting.
• Loss of Appetite: A decrease in appetite is common.
• Bad Breath: Uremia (a buildup of waste products) can cause bad breath.
• Shortness of Breath: Fluid buildup in the lungs or anemia can cause difficulty breathing.
• High Blood Pressure: CKD can contribute to or worsen high blood pressure.
• Confusion or Difficulty Concentrating: Toxin buildup can affect brain function.
• Metabolic acidosis ; Due to increase production of acids
 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY ;-
ETIOLOGY
Renal vasoconstriction Arteriolar ↓ functions damaged tisue
constriction of nephrons cells and RBC’s
↓ GFR
HTN failure of excretion disturbance of
Na+ and water of H2 ions Na+and K+
retension ↑circulatory exchange
overload ↑production of
EDEMA and Na + acids ↑ extracellular
retention K+ overload
metabolic acidosis [HYPERKALEMIA]
• RISK FACTORS ;-
• Diabetes: High blood sugar levels can damage blood vessels in the kidneys.
• High Blood Pressure: Hypertension can cause damage to kidney blood vessels and contribute to CKD.
• Heart Disease: Conditions affecting the heart can impact kidney function.
• Family History: A family history of kidney disease can increase your risk.
• Age: The risk increases with age, particularly after 60.
• Chronic Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation of the kidney's filtering units can lead to CKD.
• Obesity: Excess body weight can contribute to conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
• Smoking: Tobacco use can harm blood vessels and worsen kidney function.
• Frequent Use of Certain Medications: Long-term use of medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) can harm the kidneys.
• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like lupus can affect kidney function.
 COMPLICATIONS ;-
• Cardiovascular Disease: CKD increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Anemia: Reduced kidney function can lead to decreased production of erythropoietin, a hormone that helps
produce red blood cells.
• Bone Disease: CKD can affect calcium and phosphate balance, leading to bone weakening and pain.
• Fluid Retention: This can lead to swelling, high blood pressure, and heart failure.
• Electrolyte Imbalances: Imbalances in potassium, sodium, and other electrolytes can occur.
• Acidosis: The buildup of acid in the blood can lead to a condition called metabolic acidosis.
• Gastrointestinal Issues: Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite can occur.
• Mental Health Issues: Depression and cognitive impairment can be related to CKD.
• End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): CKD can progress to ESRD, where kidneys fail completely, necessitating
dialysis or kidney transplantation.
• DIAGNOSIS ;
 Medical History
 Physical Examination;- This may include checking for signs of fluid retention,
• high blood pressure, and other physical indicators of CKD.
 Laboratory Tests ;-
1. Blood Tests:
– Serum Creatinine: Elevated levels can indicate reduced kidney function.
– Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): High levels can suggest impaired kidney function.
– Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): A key indicator of kidney function; a reduced GFR
suggests CKD.
– Electrolytes: Tests for sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate levels.
Hemoglobin and Hematocrit: To check for anemia. .
2. Urine Tests:
– Urinalysis: To detect the presence of protein, blood, or other abnormalities in the urine.
– Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR): Measures protein levels in the urine,
which can indicate kidney damage.
3. Imaging Studies
• Ultrasound: Commonly used to assess kidney size, structure, and to detect any
obstructions or abnormalities.
• CT Scan: May be used if more detailed imaging is needed, especially if there are
concerns about structural abnormalities or blockages.
• MRI: Used less frequently but may be employed in certain cases to evaluate kidney
4. Kidney Biopsy
• Biopsy: In certain cases, a kidney biopsy may be performed to obtain a sample of
kidney tissue for examination. This is typically done if there is a need to determine
the specific cause of kidney damage or to assess the degree of kidney damage.
Urine Collection: To measure kidney function and check for proteinuria and other
abnormalities
• MANAGEMENT ;-
Non Pharmacological treatment ;-
1. Dietary Modifications:
- Low-Protein Diet: Reducing protein intake can help decrease the kidneys' workload.
- Low-Sodium Diet: Reducing sodium helps control blood pressure and fluid retention.
- Potassium and Phosphorus Control: Managing potassium and phosphorus intake can prevent
complications related to imbalances.
- Fluid Management: Monitoring and adjusting fluid intake to avoid dehydration or fluid
overload.
2. Blood Pressure Management:
- Regular monitoring and maintaining blood pressure within recommended ranges, often with
lifestyle changes like reducing salt intake and increasing physical activity.
3. Blood Sugar Control:
- For individuals with diabetes, keeping blood sugar levels well-controlled is crucial.
4. Weight Management:
- Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular exercise.
5. Physical Activity:
- Engaging in regular, moderate exercise can improve overall health and help manage
symptoms
6. Smoking Cessation:
- Quitting smoking is important as it can help improve cardiovascular health and slow CKD progression.
7. Stress Management:
- Techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, or counseling can help manage stress, which can impact
overall health.
8. Regular Monitoring and Check-ups:
• - Regular visits to a healthcare provider for monitoring kidney function and adjusting treatment plans
as necessary
• Pharmacological management ;-
1. Antihypertensives {Ex. Beta-blockers }
2. Diuretics {Ex.Frusemide,Torsemide}
3. Phosphate Binders {Ex. Calcium carbonate}
4. Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents (ESAs){}
5. Iron Supplements{Ex.Ferrous sulfate}
6. Statins{Ex. Provastatin,Atorvastatin}
7. Anti-Hyperglycemics{Ex. Metformin,Glimipride}

Uses ;- To treat the Nausesa , Vomiting
• Cap.Lubiprostone ;- {BRAND NAME :-AMITIZA}
Dose ;- 24mcg
Category ;- LAXATIVE[CHLORIDE CHANNEL
ACTIVATOR]
MOA ;- Lubiprostone works by activating chloride channels in the intestinal
epithelium, leading to increased fluid secretion into the lumen of the intestines.
This helps soften stools and promotes bowel movements
ADR’s ;- Nausea,Diarrhea,Abdominal pain,Headache,Vomiting
Uses ;- Mainly used in the treatment of Constipation
• Tab.Torsemide ;- {BRAND NAME :- DEMADEX}
Dose ;- 10mg
Category ;- DIURETIC
MOA ;- Torsemide acts primarily on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle in the
kidneys. It inhibits the Na-K-2Cl co-transporter, which is responsible for reabsorbing
sodium, potassium, and chloride ions from the urine back into the blood. By blocking
this transporter, torsemide prevents the reabsorption of these ions, leading to increased
excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. This diuretic effect helps reduce fluid overload
in conditions like heart failure and renal dysfunction.
ADR’s ;- Rash,Pruritis,Tinnitus
Uses ;- Used in the treatment of CHF,HTN,CKD,Liver cirrhosis
Tab.Chlorpheniramine malate ;- {BRAND NAME :- DEMAZIN}
Dose ;- 8 mg
Category ;- ANTI-HISTAMINE
MOA ;- Primary Action: Blocks histamine H1 receptors, reducing the effects of
histamine in the body. Helps alleviate symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy
eyes caused by allergies.
ADR’s ;- Drowsiness,Dizziness,Dry mouth,Constipation,Blurred vision
Uses ;- Allergic rhinitis,Allergic conjunctivitis,Urticaria (hives),Common cold
symptoms (often combined with decongestants or cough suppressants in combination
products).
• Cap. Lotrel {AMLODIPINE+BENZAPRIL} ;-
Dose ;- 10mg/40mg [Amlodepine/Benazepril]
Category ;- CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKER/ACE INHIBITOR
• MOA ;-Amlodipine:
• Action: Amlodipine works by blocking calcium channels in the smooth muscle
cells of the blood vessels. This prevents calcium from entering these cells, leading
to relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle. As a result, there is vasodilation
(widening) of the blood vessels, which reduces blood pressure and decreases the
workload on the heart.
• MOA ;- Benzapril :-
Benazepril is a prodrug, meaning it's converted into its active form, benazeprilat, in
the liver.
Benazeprilat inhibits the enzyme ACE, which is responsible for converting
angiotensin I into angiotensin II.

• Tab. FUROSEMIDE ;- {BRAND NAME :-LASIX 40 mg}
Dose ;- 40 mg
Category ;- DIURETIC
MOA ;- Inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in ther ascending loop of henle in the kidneys leads
to increase the urine production and reduction in fluid builup
ADR’s ;- Dehydration, Electrolyte imbalance, Hypotension , Dizziness
Uses ;- Used in the treatment of edema associated with renal impairment
• Tab. ALLOPURINOL ;- {BRAND NAME :- ZYRIK 100}
Dose ;- 100 mg
Category ;- XANTHANE OXIDASE INHIBITOR
• MOA ;-
Xanthine oxidase is responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthane to uric acid, which is
the final step in the purine degradation pathway.
By inhibiting xanthine oxidase, allopurinol decreases the production of uric acid, thereby reducing its levels in the
blood and urine.
Reduction of Uric Acid Levels:
As uric acid production decreases, the concentration of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia) and tissues is reduced,
which helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints and kidneys.

    • DIAGNOSIS ; Medical History  Physical Examination;- This may include checking for signs of fluid retention, • high blood pressure, and other physical indicators of CKD.  Laboratory Tests ;- 1. Blood Tests: – Serum Creatinine: Elevated levels can indicate reduced kidney function. – Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): High levels can suggest impaired kidney function. – Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): A key indicator of kidney function; a reduced GFR suggests CKD. – Electrolytes: Tests for sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphate levels. Hemoglobin and Hematocrit: To check for anemia. . 2. Urine Tests: – Urinalysis: To detect the presence of protein, blood, or other abnormalities in the urine. – Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR): Measures protein levels in the urine, which can indicate kidney damage.

    3. Imaging Studies •Ultrasound: Commonly used to assess kidney size, structure, and to detect any obstructions or abnormalities. • CT Scan: May be used if more detailed imaging is needed, especially if there are concerns about structural abnormalities or blockages. • MRI: Used less frequently but may be employed in certain cases to evaluate kidney 4. Kidney Biopsy • Biopsy: In certain cases, a kidney biopsy may be performed to obtain a sample of kidney tissue for examination. This is typically done if there is a need to determine the specific cause of kidney damage or to assess the degree of kidney damage. Urine Collection: To measure kidney function and check for proteinuria and other abnormalities
