• Summary
Introduction
 CKD is a worldwide public health problem, both
for the number of patients and cost involved.
 With growing age of the population prevelence
is increasing.
 Lack of knowledge to screen early and also to
manage them rightly increasing morbidity and
mortality among CKD patients.
Magnitude
of the
burden
• The reported prevalence of CKD in different
regions of India ranges from <1% to 17%(ISN
2018).
• Over 50% of patients with advanced CKD are
first seen when the eGFR is <15 ml/min per 1.73
m2
.
• This sobering number highlights the need for
robust screening programs for those at risk for
CKD
Diagnosis
 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined
as either structural or functional
impairment of the kidney for three or
more months, irrespective of the
cause.
Diagnosis
Diabetes &
hypertension
are leading
causes of
CKD

Creatinine
& cystatin
 No ideal marker yet
 We have only functional marker no structural
markers.
 No troponin or AST for kidney
 Both of them are late markers
 Hence rapid action is required once elevated.
 Serial values are important to know the rate of fall
of GFR
 eGFR calculation – CKDEPI is preferred ( 2012)
 What’s new – cystatin in the formula

Staging
Imaging  Ultrasonography is
the mainstay
 Small size is
definitive ( 9.5 -12cm)
 Altered echogenecity.
 Loss of
corticomedullary
differentiation.
 Obstructive
uropathies.

 Treatment of reversible causes of kidney failure
 Preventing or slowing the progression of kidney
disease
 Treatment of the complications of kidney
failure .
 Adjusting drug doses when appropriate for the
level of estimated glomerular filtration rate
(eGFR).
 Identification and adequate preparation of the
patient in whom kidney replacement therapy
will be required
Reversible
causes of
CKD
 Nephrotoxic drugs
 Urinary tract obstruction
 Treating underlying cause.
 Preventing infections
Slowing the
progression
 Life style modifications
 Strict blood pressure and glycemic control
 RAAS inhibitors
 SGLT2 inhibitors
 No steroid MRA(Finerenone)
Slowing the

 Salt restriction <2.5 gm /day
 Smoking cessation
 weight reduction (ORG)
 Dietary animal protein restriction.

KDIGO 2020
ACEi / ARB
Glycemic
control
SGLT2
inhibitors
The Game
changers
 Decreases blood sugars
 Decreases BP
 Slows progression of CKD
 5th pillar for heart failure treatment
 Reduces hyponatremia
Finerenone
The
Forgotten ‘A’
of RAAS
string
 Finerenone is a non-steroidal third generation Mineralocorticoid
receptor antagonist.
 It has high affinity for the Mineralocorticoid receptor does not bind
to androgen receptor
 It reduces albuminuria
 It improves cardiovascular outcomes and also renal outcomes
 Two major studies FIDELIO DKD and FIGARO DKD have shown
significant improvement with respect to RENAL &
CARDIOVASCULAR outcomes
 There is an increased risk of hyperkalaemia
 Use in combination with SGLT2 inhibitors requires further study
Too early not
just early .
 Protective therapy has the greatest impact if it is initiated
before the plasma creatinine concentration exceeds 1.2 -
1.5 mg/dL

Complication
s
Metabolic acidosis
 Improves Growth in
children
 Delays progression
of CKD
 Preserves bone
health
 Reduces
inflammation
 Prevents cachexia
 Target above 22
meql/dl
 Caution about
volume expansion
Hyperkalemia
 DIET & DRUGS
 Food leaching
 RAASi ,MRA, Beta
blockers,NSAIDS.
 Minimise with
diuretics and alkali
therapy
ANEMIA
 Worsens cardiac failure , frequent
hospitalisation, repeated transfusion, infections,
sensitisation
 Relative deficiency of Erythropoietin and abnormal
hypoxia sensing mechanism .
 Correct the iron ,B12, frolic acid deficiency.
 ESA – Erythropoetin, darbopetin, peqylated rHu
EPO
 DUSTATS ( HIF STABILIZERS - desidustat,
vadadustat, roxadustat,molidustat,daprodustat)
CKD MBD
 Triard
 Osteodystrophy, vascular calicification , high
phosphate ,low calcium, high
pth(paratharmone).
 Spectrum – a Dynamic bone disease to renal
osteodystrophy
 Treatment - Correct vit D deficiency,
hypocalcemia , hyperphosphatemia ( dietary
restriction, oral phosphate binders, calcitriol,
calcimmetics)
Dyslipidemia
 Mainly hypertriglycerdemia with total
cholesterol being normal.
 Screen all patients with CKD
 In DM, Nephrotic syndrome , metabolic
syndrome may have elevated cholesterol ,
treatment is with statins and ezetimibe.
 Secondary prevention is similar to non CKD
patients
 Primary prevention-
1. All patients with GFR <60ml/min
2. Patients with CKD and GFR >60ml/min and
age>50yrs or other risk factors.
Malnutrition
 Protein diet .? Need customisation For Indian
patients
 ICMR (2020) – 0.6gm/kg body weight.
 Restrict in glomerular disease in early stage.
 Restrict animal protein.
 Calorie - 30 to 35kcal /kg / day
Infection and
vaccination
 Higher risk of infections compared to general
population
 Vaccination :
 Influenza – annual.
 Hepatitis B – 4 doses ( double dose)
 Pneumococcal ( prevenar 13 & pneumovac 23)
Medications
in CKD
 CKD patients at high risk for drug-related adverse events
 •Several classes of drugs renally eliminated
 •Consider kidney function and current eGFR (not just SCr)
when prescribing meds
 •Minimize pill burden as much as possible
 •Remind CKD patients to avoid NSAIDs
 •No Dual RAAS blockade
 •Any med with >30% renal clearance probably needs dose
adjustment for CKD
 •No bisphosphonates for eGFR <30
 •Avoid GAD for eGFR <30
Referral to
Nephrologist
s
When
 GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73m2.
 Earlier in whom GFR is falling rapidly and with
albuminuric CKD
 Rapid fall - >5ml/min/1.73m2/ year .
Why
 To Plan and counsel about renal replacement therapy
 Access(vascular & peritoneal Dialysis)
 To counsel about renal transplantation
Referral to
Nephrologist
s
 late referral is associated with a significantly
increased risk of all-cause mortality.
 Early referral enables discussion of the
preferred mode of kidney replacement therapy
to suit the patient's lifestyle.
 Helps in timely placement of a permanent
dialysis access.
 Patients treated by nephrologists were
significantly less likely to have required a
temporary venous catheter for the first dialysis
(36 versus 89 percent).
Most
common
cause of
death
 1. Cardiovascular.
 2. Infections.
 3. Access failure.
Kidney
replacement
therapy
 Hemodialysis ( incentre / home )
 Peritoneal dialysis ( intermittent/ continuous)
 Kidney transplantation – treatment of choice,
as it improves quality of life and reduces
mortality.
Hemodialysi
s
Pros
 Widely available
 Under government schemes
 Less patient involvement .
 Regular monitoring by Nephrologists
Cons
 Thrice a week ( care giver fatigue)
 Not a continuous process(unphysiological)
 hemodynamic unstability
 Access issues.- Fistula first catheter kills
 Painful
Peritoneal
dialysis
 Pros
 Home based
 Patient involved in his own care
 More independent.
 More physiological and liberal food intake
 Less BP variations.
 Cons
 Abdominal discomfort.
 Peritonitis.
 Lack of Patient smartness.
 Less effective once patient is Anuric
Kidney
transplantati
on
 Treatment of choice
 As it replaces all the functions of the kidney.
 Live related / deceased donor(JSK).
 Swap transplantation program.
 Abo incompatible transplants.
 Cons.
 Cost
 Availability of the kidney
 Stigma in society (Donor and receipent)
 Immunosuppression risk for the recipient
 Graft loss ( rejection, recurrence of basic disease)
Take home
 Robust screening of high risk patients for early diagnosis .
 Lifestyle modifications are equally important as pills.
 Use of Disease modifying drugs and regular monitoring.
 Timely referral to Nephrologists
 Preparing for kidney replacement therapy
 Encourage deceased donor and swap transplantation.
