Speaker Disclosure
• Dr. Choi has disclosed the he is on the speaker’s bureau for AstraZeneca.
Learning Objectives
By completing this educational activity, the participant should be better able to:
1. Risk stratify CKD patients by estimated GFR and albuminuria.
2. Implement measures to slow CKD progression and manage CKD complications including hypertension, metabolic acidosis, anemia, hyperkalemia, mineral and bone disorder, and medication safety.
3. Apply indications for nephrology referral to the context of practice.
CKD: A Public Health Issue
• 26 million American adults affected, 11‐13% of adults
• Medicare cost $99 billion in 2015
• Increases risk for all‐cause mortality, CV mortality, and ESRD
• 6 fold increase in mortality rate with DM + CKD
• Disproportionately affects African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, American Indians

Why do we stink at diagnosing CKD?
Cr based on muscle mass
Non‐linear relationship ‐ Insensitive
Determining GFR
• Serum creatinine is a POOR measure of kidney function ‐especially in older women
• CKD‐EPI equation (estimated GFR mL/min/1.73m2)
– Adjusts for demographics

Screening Tools for CKD: ACR
• Urinary albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (ACR) – urine albumin concentration in mg/dl divided by urine creatinine concentration in g/dl
– Urine creatinine assists in adjusting for urine concentrations
• Categories of ACR (mg/g)
– Mild (< 30 mg/g)
– Moderate (30‐299 mg/g)
– Severe (> 300 mg/g)
• 24hr urine test rarely necessary
Criteria for CKD
• One or more must be present for >3 months:
–ACR >30 mg/g
–Abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for >3 months (albuminuria/proteinuria, hematuria, cysts)
–GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2

• Kidney Profile
- Combines eGFR & ACR
- Test the Population at Risk with DM and/or HTN
- NKF Partnership with leading Clinical Laboratories nationwide
• Kidney Function
- Estimated GFR (ml/min/1.73m2)
• Kidney Damage
- Albumin‐creatinine ratio, urine (mg/g)
• Depending on age, history and physical
– Serum light chain assay, serum or urine protein electrophoresis (SPEP, UPEP)
–HIV, HCV, HBV tests
–Complements, other serologies – limited role unless specific reason
Clinical Evaluation of CKD

CKD or AKI from Obstruction
• Voiding symptoms
– Diabetics, older men,
– Anticholinergics, opiates
• Partial – Urine output variable
• Dx: Ultrasound
– Kidney sizes normally 10‐12 cm
– < 10 cm implies CKD
• Rx: Foley/nephrostomy tube

The primary composite outcome in the time‐to‐event analysis was the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular causes, non‐fatal myocardial infarction, or non‐fatal stroke. The cumulative incidences were estimated with the use of the Kaplan–Meier method, and the HRs with the use of the Cox proportional‐hazard regression model. The data analyses are truncated at 54 months because less than 10% of the patients had an observation time beyond 54 months. CI: confidence interval; CV: cardiovascular; HR: hazard ratio.

FDA Safety Communication (Dec. 4, 2015): SGLT2 inhibitors to include warnings about DKA and serious UTIs
• FDA Adverse Event Reporting System database identified 20 cases of acidosis reported as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), from SGLT2 inhibitors from 3/2013 to 6/2014.
• Not typical for DKA, most had type 2 DM and blood sugar levels, , were only slightly increased compared to typical cases of DKA
• 19 cases of urosepsis and pyelonephritis that started as urinary tract infections with the SGLT2 inhibitors.
Full analysis set. EAC‐confirmed microvascular events including events with onset between date of randomization and date of follow‐up. Cox proportional‐hazard model adjusted for treatment. Development of diabetes‐related blindness was not analysed as an individual component as only one event was observed. *New onset of persistent macroalbuminuria: urine albumin ≥300 mg/g creatinine. †Persistent doubling of serum creatinine level and eGFR ≤45 mL/min/1.73m2 per MDRD. CI: confidence interval; EAC: event adjudication committee; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; MDRD: modification of diet in renal disease.

Metabolic Acidosis
• Apparent at GFR < 25‐30 ml/min, but can occur earlier– Higher animal protein diet →more acid load
• Treatment slows CKD progression
• As far as BP, sodium bicarbonate = sodium chloride
• Goal serum bicarbonate > 22 mEq/L, Start 0.5‐1 mEq/kg/d– Sodium bicarbonate tablets
• 325 mg (3.9 mEq) or 650 mg (7.8 mEq) tablets– Sodium citrate solution
• 1 mEq/ml– Baking soda
• 54 mEq/level teaspoon
Blood Pressure and CKD Progression
• BP Control more important than which agents are used
–Avoid side‐effects
• With proteinuria: ACEi or ARB + diuretic
• No proteinuria: no clear drug preference
– ACEi or ARB ok to use

Slowing CKD Progression: ACEi/ARB
• Check labs after initiation
–< 25% SCr increase, continue and monitor
–> 25% SCr increase, stop ACEi and evaluate for RAS
• Continue until contraindication arises (hyperkalemia), no absolute eGFR cutoff
• Better proteinuria suppression with low Na diet and diuretics
• Avoid volume depletion

The Renal Diet
52
CKD‐Mineral and Bone Disorders (CKD‐MBD) – A lot of opinions
• Keep serum phosphorous in normal range
– Limit phosphorus in diet, decrease packaged products ‐ Refer to dietitian
– May need phosphate binders with meals
• Vitamin D2 if serum 25(OH) vit D level <30 ng/mL
– Cholecalciferol 800‐2000 IU daily to achieve normal serum levels
• Treat with active oral vitamin D if serum 25(OH) vit D >30 ng/mL and iPTH is above target range (normal up to stage 4, 2‐9 x no for stage 5)
– Calcitriol: 0.25 mcg 3x/wk‐daily
– Doxercalciferol: 2 mcg 3x/wk‐daily
– Paricalcitol: 2 mcg 3x/ wk‐daily
• DEXA doesn’t predict fracture risk well in CKD 4‐5

Drug‐Induced Hyperkalemia in CKD
Mechanisms Drugs
Impairs Renin –Angiotensin ‐Aldosterone function
ACEi/ ARBs, β‐blockersHeparin (SQ, LMW) NSAIDs, COX‐2 inhibitors
Altered K+ distribution β‐blockers
Increased K+ load Salt substitutes, K+ or herbal supplementsPRBC infusions
Reduced K+ excretion K+ sparing diureticsCalcineurin inhibitorsTMP‐SMX, pentamidine
Chronic Management of Hyperkalemia
• Low K+ diet 2000 mg/d (~50 mEq/d) vs. normal 4500 mg/dDiet sheets from National Kidney Foundation kidney.org
Chronic Management of Hyperkalemia
• Thiazide or loop diuretics
– Select loop diuretics if eGFR <30 ml/min
• If acidotic, correct acidosis with oral bicarbonate
• If starting ACE‐inhibitor or ARB
– Start low dose
– Check serum K+ within 1 week of initiation or dose escalation
• Exchange resins: Sodium polystyrene sulfonate
– Theoretical: Bound Na+ exchanged for K+ in colon/rectum
– Likely: Accompanying sorbitol induces diarrhea
– Usually requires multiple doses

Conclusions
• Use GFR estimating equations
• Stage CKD with eGFR and albuminuria and consider cause
• Control BP…but goal is not clear
• Not everyone with CKD needs RAAS blockade
• Manage DM, HTN, acidosis to decrease progression
• Avoid nephrotoxins
• CKD means CV risk factor.
