Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abboud H and Henrich W N Engl J Med 201036256-65

Statins and Chronic Kidney Disease Study Description Results

4D NEJM 2006

1255 subjects with type 2 Diabetes on hemodialysis randomly assigned to atorvastatin 20 mg qd or placebo

LDL reduced by 42 no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

AURORA NEJM 2008

2776 patients at high cardiovascular risk 50 to 80 years of age on hemodialysis randomly to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or placebo

43 reduction in LDL no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Contrast and Phosphate Nephropathy

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 v

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

than 2 standard deviations below the age-corrected normal values

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Studies of Anemia Management and the use of Erythropoetin in CKD

Normal Hct Study Besarab A et al N Engl J Med 1998339584-590

183 deaths and 19 non fatal MIrsquos in nl-Hct group and 150 deaths and 14 non fatal MIrsquos in low-Hct group (RR 13 95 CI 09 to 19) Study halted

Pts in nl-Hct group had a decline in the adequacy of dialysis and received more IV iron dextran

CHOIR Study Ajay Singh et al N Engl J Med 20063552085-98

125 events (Death MI CHF Stroke) in the high-Hb group vs 97 events in the low-Hb group (HR 134 95 CI 103 to 174 P = 003)

Improvements in the quality of life were similar in the two groups

CREATE Study Drueke et al N Engl J Med 20063552071-84

No effect on first cardiovascular event

General health and physical function improved significantly (P = 0003 and Plt0001) in high Hb group

TREAT Study Marc Pfeffer et al N Engl J Med 20093612019-32

Death or a cardiovascular event in 632 pts in Rx group vs 602 pts in placebo group (P = 041)

Fatal or nonfatal stroke in 101 pts in Rx grp vs 53 in placebo group (Plt0001)

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Thrombosis following PICC placement

Figure 1 A 38-year-old asymptomatic woman 1 day after PICC placement with inadvertent removal Venography demonstrates non-occlusive thrombus in a brachial vein

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

ESRD incident counts and adjusted rates by age

- the ageing of the dialysis population

Murtagh et al Nephrol Dial Transplant (2007)

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

1255 subjects with type 2 Diabetes on hemodialysis randomly assigned to atorvastatin 20 mg qd or placebo

LDL reduced by 42 no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

AURORA NEJM 2008

2776 patients at high cardiovascular risk 50 to 80 years of age on hemodialysis randomly to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or placebo

43 reduction in LDL no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

LDL reduced by 42 no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

AURORA NEJM 2008

2776 patients at high cardiovascular risk 50 to 80 years of age on hemodialysis randomly to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or placebo

43 reduction in LDL no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abboud H and Henrich W N Engl J Med 201036256-65

Statins and Chronic Kidney Disease Study Description Results

4D NEJM 2006

1255 subjects with type 2 Diabetes on hemodialysis randomly assigned to atorvastatin 20 mg qd or placebo

LDL reduced by 42 no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

AURORA NEJM 2008

2776 patients at high cardiovascular risk 50 to 80 years of age on hemodialysis randomly to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or placebo

43 reduction in LDL no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abboud H and Henrich W N Engl J Med 201036256-65

Statins and Chronic Kidney Disease Study Description Results

4D NEJM 2006

1255 subjects with type 2 Diabetes on hemodialysis randomly assigned to atorvastatin 20 mg qd or placebo

LDL reduced by 42 no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

AURORA NEJM 2008

2776 patients at high cardiovascular risk 50 to 80 years of age on hemodialysis randomly to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or placebo

43 reduction in LDL no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Contrast and Phosphate Nephropathy

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 v

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

than 2 standard deviations below the age-corrected normal values

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Thrombosis following PICC placement

Figure 1 A 38-year-old asymptomatic woman 1 day after PICC placement with inadvertent removal Venography demonstrates non-occlusive thrombus in a brachial vein

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Studies of Anemia Management and the use of Erythropoetin in CKD

Normal Hct Study Besarab A et al N Engl J Med 1998339584-590

183 deaths and 19 non fatal MIrsquos in nl-Hct group and 150 deaths and 14 non fatal MIrsquos in low-Hct group (RR 13 95 CI 09 to 19) Study halted

Pts in nl-Hct group had a decline in the adequacy of dialysis and received more IV iron dextran

CHOIR Study Ajay Singh et al N Engl J Med 20063552085-98

125 events (Death MI CHF Stroke) in the high-Hb group vs 97 events in the low-Hb group (HR 134 95 CI 103 to 174 P = 003)

Improvements in the quality of life were similar in the two groups

CREATE Study Drueke et al N Engl J Med 20063552071-84

No effect on first cardiovascular event

General health and physical function improved significantly (P = 0003 and Plt0001) in high Hb group

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

125 events (Death MI CHF Stroke) in the high-Hb group vs 97 events in the low-Hb group (HR 134 95 CI 103 to 174 P = 003)

Improvements in the quality of life were similar in the two groups

CREATE Study Drueke et al N Engl J Med 20063552071-84

No effect on first cardiovascular event

General health and physical function improved significantly (P = 0003 and Plt0001) in high Hb group

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Studies of Anemia Management and the use of Erythropoetin in CKD

Normal Hct Study Besarab A et al N Engl J Med 1998339584-590

183 deaths and 19 non fatal MIrsquos in nl-Hct group and 150 deaths and 14 non fatal MIrsquos in low-Hct group (RR 13 95 CI 09 to 19) Study halted

Pts in nl-Hct group had a decline in the adequacy of dialysis and received more IV iron dextran

CHOIR Study Ajay Singh et al N Engl J Med 20063552085-98

125 events (Death MI CHF Stroke) in the high-Hb group vs 97 events in the low-Hb group (HR 134 95 CI 103 to 174 P = 003)

Improvements in the quality of life were similar in the two groups

CREATE Study Drueke et al N Engl J Med 20063552071-84

No effect on first cardiovascular event

General health and physical function improved significantly (P = 0003 and Plt0001) in high Hb group

TREAT Study Marc Pfeffer et al N Engl J Med 20093612019-32

Death or a cardiovascular event in 632 pts in Rx group vs 602 pts in placebo group (P = 041)

Fatal or nonfatal stroke in 101 pts in Rx grp vs 53 in placebo group (Plt0001)

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Iodinated Contrast Studies

Gadolinium-based contrast studies

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

than 2 standard deviations below the age-corrected normal values

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

bull Continued debate re incidence and of chronic lithium nephropathy ndash 15 have GFRs of more

than 2 standard deviations below the age-corrected normal values

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Bowel preparation

Avoid high osmolar agents Use lowest possible contrast dose compatible with complete study Withdraw potentially nephrotoxic agents before and after the procedure Give adequate hydration with saline before during and after the procedure Measure GFR 48ndash96 hours after the procedure

bullDo not use gadolinium in Pts with GFR lt15 mlmin173 m2 (unless there is no alternative appropriate test) bullFor pts with a GFR lt30 mlmin use a macrocyclic chelate preparation

Avoid oral phosphate-containing bowel preparations in pts with GFR lt60 mlmin due to risk of phosphate nephropathy

Avoiding Nephrotoxin Injury Lithium Nephropathy

bull Lithium salts produce a natriuresis associated with impairment of Na channels in the cortical collecting tubule

bull The most common complication of chronic lithium therapy is nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

bull ~30 of patients have at least one episode of acute lithium toxicity

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

4D NEJM 2006

1255 subjects with type 2 Diabetes on hemodialysis randomly assigned to atorvastatin 20 mg qd or placebo

LDL reduced by 42 no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

AURORA NEJM 2008

2776 patients at high cardiovascular risk 50 to 80 years of age on hemodialysis randomly to rosuvastatin 10 mg daily or placebo

43 reduction in LDL no statistically significant effect on cardiovascular death nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke

Meta-analysis BMJ 2008 Mar 22336(7645)645-51

53 studies randomised and quasi randomised controlled trials of statins compared to placebo or with other statins in CKD

Statins significantly reduced Total Cholesterol and LDL and proteinuria reduced non fatal and fatal CV events no impact on all cause mortality no impact on GFR

Sharp Study Lancet 2011 Jun25377(9784)2181-92

RCT 9270 patients with CKD (3023 on dialysis and 6247 not) with no known history of myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation compared simvastatin plus ezetimibe to placebo

Non-significantly fewer patients allocated to simvastatin plus ezetimibe had a non-fatal myocardial infarction or died from coronary heart disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Thrombosis following PICC placement

Figure 1 A 38-year-old asymptomatic woman 1 day after PICC placement with inadvertent removal Venography demonstrates non-occlusive thrombus in a brachial vein

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

125 events (Death MI CHF Stroke) in the high-Hb group vs 97 events in the low-Hb group (HR 134 95 CI 103 to 174 P = 003)

Improvements in the quality of life were similar in the two groups

CREATE Study Drueke et al N Engl J Med 20063552071-84

Death or a cardiovascular event in 632 pts in Rx group vs 602 pts in placebo group (P = 041)

Fatal or nonfatal stroke in 101 pts in Rx grp vs 53 in placebo group (Plt0001)

Anemia Management

bull Check hemoglobin in people with eGFR lt 45 mlmin

bull Exclude other causes of anemia before attributing to CKD

bull If the patient is likely to benefit in terms of quality of life consider referral for ESA candidacy if Hb lt 9gdl

Allen et al JIVR 2000

bull Identify CKD stages 34 or 5 including current hemodialysis peritoneal dialysis or transplant patients as a special population when planning central venous access

bull Plan appropriate venous access in these cases ndash dorsal hand veins for

phlebotomy ndash internal jugular veins are

preferred for central venous access

ndash external jugular veins are acceptable alternative

ndash Avoid any catheters in subclavian veins

Initiation of ESRD Care bull Consider dialysis initiation when

one or more of following is present ndash symptoms or signs attributable to

kidney failure (serositis acid-base or electrolyte abnormalities pruritus)

ndash inability to control volume status or blood pressure

ndash progressive deterioration in nutritional status refractory to dietary intervention

ndash cognitive impairment

bull Often occurs in the GFR range between 5 and 10 mlmin

bull Consider Living donor preemptive renal transplantation when GFR is lt20 mlmin and ndash evidence of progressive ndash and irreversible CKD over the

preceding 6ndash12 months

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Kidney International Supplements (2013) 3 5ndash14

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease

Vascular Biology is abnormal in CKD Coronary-Artery Calcification in Young Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease

Undergoing Dialysis (N Engl J Med 20003421478-83 AIN May 1998 Vol 12810 839-847)

1 Coronary-artery calcification is common and progressive in young adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing dialysis

2 The mean serum phosphorus the mean calcium-phosphorus ion product and the daily intake of calcium were higher among the patients with coronary-artery calcification

Sample electron-beam computed tomographic scan showing calcification of the left anterior descending coronary artery (thick arrow) and the aortic root (thin

arrow)

Mineral Metabolism in CKD bull Measure serum calcium and phosphate if eGFR lt 45mlmin bull Maintain phosphate in normal range

ndash Restrict dietary phosphate intake ndash Use phosphate binders when indicated

bull When vitamin D supplementation is indicated offer ndash 25 OH Vit D to people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin

bull Use calcitriol (125 Vit D analogue) in patients with GFR lt 30 mlmin and ndash PTH gt 70ngL in CKD 3 ndash PTH gt 120ngL in CKD 4

bull Offer bisphosphonates for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in ndash people with eGFR gt 30 mlmin on the same indications as for all other

patients

Functional Status of Elderly Adults before and after Initiation of Dialysis

bull3702 nursing home residents in the United States bullInitiated dialysis dialysis between June 1998 and October 2000 bullAt least one measurement of functional status was available before dialysis bullFunctional status was measured by assessing the degree of dependence in seven ADLrsquos (on the Minimum Data SetndashActivities of Daily Living [MDSndashADL] scale of 0 to 28 points with higher scores indicating greater functional difficulty)

Tamura et al N Engl J Med 20093611539-47

Conservative Management of Stage V CKD

bull Conservative management should be an option

bull It should be supported by a comprehensive management program

bull It should be available to people and families through either primary care or specialist care as local circumstances dictate

bull The comprehensive conservative management program should include ndash protocols for symptom and

pain management ndash psychological care spiritual

care ndash culturally sensitive care for

the dying patient and their family (whether at home in a hospice or a hospital setting)

ndash provision of culturally appropriate bereavement support

Conclusions

bull Kidney Disease is common in both the inpatient and outpatient settings

bull Acute Renal Failure in hospitalized patients is associated with high mortality rates in those requiring replacement therapy

bull The majority of patients with CKD have non progressive disease

bull Cardiovascular disease is a major co-morbidity bull For patients with progressive CKD care strategies should be

initiated early to improve long term morbidity and mortality bull A team approach is required bull Pre-planning for renal replacement therapies is necessary in

those with progressive disease
