Renal Replacement Therapy
• GFR < 5 ml/min
• GFR 5 – 15 ml/min with AEIOU
• Acidemia
• Electrolytes (hyperkalemia)
• Intoxication (overdose dialyzable substance)
• Overload of fluid (CHF)
• Uremic symptoms (pericarditis, encephalopathy)
• Most common indications: hyperkalemia and volume overload
Dialyzable Substances
• Salicylates (aspirin)
• Lithium
• Isopropyl alcohol
• Magnesium laxatives
• Ethylene glycol

Dialysis Methods
Hemodialysis
• Requires vascular access
• Blood pumped from body → filter → back to body
• Done in “sessions” of few hours at a time
• Usually 3 days per week
• Can be done emergently
• Risk of hypotension

Dialysis Methods
Peritoneal Dialysis
• Fluid cycled through peritoneal cavity
• Peritoneum used as dialysis membrane
• Cycles for 4-6 hours per day
• Usually done at home during sleep
• Major risk: peritonitis

Vascular Access
• For acute dialysis, central line can be placed
• Ideal method is fistula
• Connection between artery and vein
• Placed surgically, usually in arm
• Lowest rates of thrombosis, infection
• Fistula must “mature” for use
• Ideally placed several months before dialysis

Complications CKD
• Anemia
• Loss of EPO
• Bleeding
• Abnormal platelet function
• Infection
• Abnormal neutrophil function
Jessica Polka/Wikipedia
Complications CKD
• Dyslipidemia
• Mostly triglycerides
• Protein loss in urine → stimulation of liver synthesis
• Impaired clearance of chylomicrons and VLDL
• Sexual dysfunction
• Erectile dysfunction
• Anovulation
• Abnormal calcium and phosphate
Calcium-Phosphate in CKD
Sick Kidneys
Hypocalcemia
↑PTH
Calcium-Phosphate in CKD
• Secondary hyperparathyroidism
• Parathyroid stimulation in renal failure
• Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
• Autonomous hormone release from constant stimulation
• VERY high PTH levels
• Calcium becomes elevated
• Often requires parathyroidectomy
Lee Health/Vimieo
Bone Disease in CKD
• Untreated hyperparathyroidism leads to renal osteodystrophy
• Bone pain (predominant symptom)
• Fracture (weak bones 2° chronic high PTH levels)
• Osteitis fibrosa cystica
• Untreated, severely elevated PTH levels
• Bone cysts
• Brown tumors (osteoclasts w/fibrous tissue)
Chronic Kidney Disease
Treatment
• ACE Inhibitors
• Used in early CKD
• Limit progression
• Renal diet
• Advanced CKD
• Low protein (limits urea production)
• Low potassium, phosphate and magnesium
• Low salt if HTN, CHF or oliguria

Chronic Kidney Disease
Treatment
• Vitamin D and calcium supplementation
• Phosphate binders
• Bind phosphate in GI tract
• Calcium carbonate
• Calcium acetate (Phoslo)
• Sevelamer (Renagel)
• Lanthanum
Drugs and Renal Function
• Many drugs worsen renal function
• Decrease GFR
• Associated with ↑ BUN/Cr
• Loop, Thiazide, and K-sparing diuretics
• NSAIDs

Contrast Nephropathy
• CT radiocontrast dye may lead to acute kidney injury
• Avoided in patients with CKD
Calciphylaxis
Calcific Uremic Arteriopathy
• Seen in chronic hyperphosphatemia in CKD
• Excess phosphate taken up by vascular smooth muscle
• Smooth muscle osteogenesis
• Vascular wall calcification
• Increased systolic blood pressure
• Small vessel thrombosis
• Painful nodules, skin necrosis

Nephrogenic Systemic Fibrosis
• Diffuse fibrosis of skin
• Induration, thickening, hardening
• “Brawny” hyperpigmentation
• Shiny skin
• Gadolinium: MRI contrast agent
• Renal disease + exposure to gadolinium
• Gadolinium contraindicated in CKD patients
• No treatment

Kidney Transplantation
• Reduces mortality compared with dialysis
• Improves quality of life
• Usually reserved for younger patients (< 55)
• Requires post-transplant immunosuppression therapy
