==[[Chronic renal failure diagnosis|Diagnosis]]==


The most common causes of CRF are [[diabetic nephropathy]], [[hypertension]], and [[glomerulonephritis]].  Together, these cause approximately 75% of all adult cases. Certain geographic areas have a high incidence of HIV nephropathy.

Historically, kidney disease has been classified according to the part of the renal anatomy that is involved, as:
==[[Chronic renal failure treatment|Treatment]]==
* Vascular, includes large vessel disease such as bilateral [[renal artery stenosis]] and small vessel disease such as ischemic nephropathy, [[hemolytic-uremic syndrome]] and [[vasculitis]]
* Glomerular, comprising a diverse group and subclassified into
** Primary Glomerular disease such as [[focal segmental glomerulosclerosis]] and [[IgA nephropathy]]
** Secondary Glomerular disease such as [[diabetic nephropathy]] and [[lupus nephritis]]
* Tubulointerstitial including [[polycystic kidney disease]],  drug and toxin-induced chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis and [[reflux nephropathy]]
* Obstructive such as with bilateral [[kidney stone]]s and diseases of the [[prostate]]

The goal of therapy is to slow down or halt the otherwise relentless progression of CRF to ESRD. Control of [[blood pressure]] and treatment of the original disease, whenever feasible, are the broad principles of management. Generally, [[angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor]]s (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor antagonists (ARBs) are used, as they have been found to slow the progression to ESRD.<ref>Ruggenenti P, Perna A, Gherardi G, Gaspari F, Benini R, Remuzzi G. Renal function and requirement for dialysis in chronic nephropathy patients on long-term ramipril: REIN follow-up trial. Gruppo Italiano di Studi Epidemiologici in Nefrologia (GISEN). Ramipril Efficacy in Nephropathy. Lancet. 1998 Oct 17;352(9136):1252-6. PMID 9788454.</ref><ref>Ruggenenti P, Perna A, Gherardi G, Garini G, Zoccali C, Salvadori M, Scolari F, Schena FP, Remuzzi G. Renoprotective properties of ACE-inhibition in non-diabetic nephropathies with non-nephrotic proteinuria. Lancet. 1999 Jul 31;354(9176):359-64. PMID 10437863.</ref>
 
Replacement of [[erythropoietin]] and [[vitamin D3]], two hormones processed by the kidney, is usually necessary, as is [[calcium]].  [[Phosphate binders]] are used to control the serum [[phosphate]] levels, which are usually elevated in chronic renal failure.
 
After ESRD occurs, renal replacement therapy is required, in the form of either [[dialysis]] or a [[Kidney_transplant|transplant]].
 
* '''Treatment of Reversible Exacerbants'''
*:* Volume Depletion
*:*:* May be subtle
*:*:* Autoregulation impaired with [[DM]], [[hypertension]], CRI--decreases GFR with mild volume depletion
*:*:* Careful trial of volume repletion may--return of baseline renal function
*:*:* (Increase dietary Na, reduce diuretic dosing)
*:* [[Nephrotoxin]]s
*:*:* NSAIDs
*:*:*:* Most toxic in setting of volume depletion, CHF, diuretic use
*:*:*:* Reduce [[prostaglandin]] (PG) synthesis--unopposed vasoconstriction with decreased GFR
*:*:*:* Can also cause ATN ([[acute tubular necrosis]])
*:*:* [[Aminoglycoside]]s
*:*:*:* Nonoliguric ARF typically occurs at 7-10 days
*:*:*:* Increased risk with older patients, prolonged therapy and greater total dose
*:*:* IV contrast
*:*:*:* ARF usually occurs within 24-48 hours of dye administration
*:*:*:* Peak Cr after 5-7 days with return to baseline at 10-14 days
*:*:*:* Risk ARF increased with DM and higher volume of dye
*:*:* Note: certain meds increase serum Cr (via inhibiting Cr secretion or interfering with assay) without changing GFR, e.g. cimetidine, trimethoprim (TMP), cefoxitin, flucytosine; BUN will not rise because GFR is preserved
*:* Urinary Tract Obstruction
*:*:* Most commonly due to prostatic hypertrophy in men
*:*:* Other causes: 
*:*:*:* [[Nephrolithiasis]]
*:*:*:* [[Tumor]]
*:*:*:* [[Neurogenic bladder]]
*:*:* Results in reduced [[GFR]] and impaired tubular function
*:*:* Consider ultrasound, urologic evaluation
* '''Reduce Progression'''
*:* Protective therapy most effective if initiated '''early''', before Cr > 1.5-2.0 mg/dL
*:* Treat [[Hypertension]]
*:*:* Systemic [[hypertension]]--elevated intraglomerular pressure +/or glom hypertrophy
*:*:* Blood Pressue (BP) control shown in multiple trials to slow progression of renal disease
*:*:* Goal BP < 130/80-85; < 125/75 in patients with proteinuria > 1-2 g/d
*:*:* ACE inhibitors (ACEI) and Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) preferred 1st line agents due to renoprotective effects
*:*:* Additional agents as needed, including diuretics if volume overload
*:* Restrict Dietary Protein
*:*:* Controversial – may decrease intraglomerular pressure
*:*:* Conflicting studies – some show benefit, others do not
*:*:* No significant adverse effects shown in large trial
*:*:* Recommendations
*:*:*:* No restriction (> 0.8 g/kg/d) if GFR 25-55 mL/min
*:*:*:* Limit protein to 0.8 g/kg/d if progression or uremic symptoms
*:*:*:* Limit to 0.6 g/kg/d if severe CRI (GFR 13-25 mL/min)
*:*:* Close follow-up by dietician given risk of malnutrition in CRI population
*:* Control blood sugar:
*:*:* Tight control (A1c < 7.0, FBS 70-120) reduces progression in DM I
*:*:* Unclear if as beneficial in DM II, but potentially helpful
* '''Treat complications'''
*:* Volume Overload
*:*:* Impaired excretion of Na/H2O due to decreased GFR +/- AII/aldo activation
*:*:* Restrict dietary Na to 1-2 g/d if hypertension or edema
*:*:* [[Diuretic]]s
*:*:*:* [[Thiazide]]s ineffective if [[GFR]] < 25 mL/min (~ Cr > 2-3)
*:*:*:* Switch to loop diuretic as Cr rises; may need bid dosing
*:*:*:* Addition of [[thiazide]] to loop diuretic can--additional diuresis
*:*:*:* Watch for excessive volume depletion
*:* [[Hyperkalemia]]
*:*:* K usually maintained until GFR < 15-20 mL/min
*:*:* Increased risk of [[hyperkalemia]] with oliguria, high [[K]] diet, ([[ACEI]] therapy)
*:*:* Increased risk with many meds:  [[ACEI]], [[NSAID]]s, K-sparing diuretics, [[digoxin]], [[TMP]]
*:*:* Increased risk in diabetics with type IV RTA
*:*:* Management
*:*:*:* Low K diet (< 60 mEq/d) once GFR < 15 mL/min
*:*:*:* Avoidance of salt substitutes (may contain K salts)
*:*:*:* +/- [[loop diuretic]]
*:*:*:* Low dose Kayexelate (5 g with meals) if needed
*:* Ca/PO4 Abnormalities
*:*:* Reduced renal synthesis 1,25-(OH)2D--low serum Ca-- 2° [[hyperparathyroidism]]
*:*:*:* (Occurs when [[GFR]] < 40 mL/min)
*:*:* Reduced [[GFR]]--phosphate retention
*:*:* Elevated [[parathyroid hormone]] ([[PTH]])--mobilization of Ca from bone; increased excretion PO4
*:*:*:* Allows maintenance of normal Ca/PO4 while GFR > 30 mL/min
*:*:*:* Causes [[renal osteodystrophy]]
*:*:*:* Once [[GFR]] < 25-30 mL/min, [[hyperphosphatemia]] occurs
*:*:* Therapy goals = normalize Ca/PO4 and maintain [[parathyroid hormone]] (PTH)< 200 (2-3x uln)
*:*:*:* Ca/PO4 management should be initiated when Cr ~ 2
*:*:*:* CaxPO4 product should be < 60 to prevent met calcification
*:*:*:* Low PO4 diet:  < 800 mg/d (challenging)
*:*:*:* Ca-based oral PO4 binders:  Ca acetate or CaCO3 with meals
*:*:*:* Avoid Al-based PO4 binders except for acute therapy of hi CaxPO4 products
*:*:*:*:* (Al toxicity = [[osteomalacia]], [[anemia]], [[encephalopathy]])
*:*:*:* Avoid Ca citrate (increases gastrointestinal absorption of aluminum)
*:*:*:* RenaGel = new non-Ca/Al-containing PO4 binder (cationic polymer)
*:*:*:*:* (For patients who cannot tolerate CaCO3 or need additional agent)
*:*:*:* [[Calcitriol]] 0.125-0.25 mg/d improves Ca & PTH levels, decreases bone disease
*:*:*:*:* (Monitor Ca--reduce dose if hyercalcemic)
*:* [[Metabolic Acidosis]]
*:*:* Occurs when [[GFR]] < 25 mL/min due to inability to excrete H+ ions
*:*:* Underlying cause = impaired renal NH3 prodxn and HCO3 reabsorption
*:*:* Risk = bone buffering of acidosis--worsened osteodystrophy via Ca/PO4 loss
*:*:*:* Increased skeletal muscle breakdown--loss of lean body mass
*:*:* Therapy goal = HCO3 > 22 mEq/L via alkali therapy (NaHCO3 0.5-1 mEq/kg/d)
*:* [[Anemia]]
*:*:* Normocytic, normochromic, hypoproliferative anemia due to reduced erythropoietin production
*:*:* May be exacerbated by reduced rbc survival, coexistent Fe/folate deficiency, etc.
*:*:* Generally occurs when Cr > 2-3 mg/dL
*:*:* If untreated, [[hematocrit]] (Hct) usually stabilizes at ~ 25
*:*:* Therapy recommendations = erythropoietin if symptomatic anemia or Hgb < 10 g/dL (in pre-dialysis patients)
*:*:*:* Goal Hct 33-36
*:*:*:* Must replete Fe stores first (oral FeSO4)
*:*:*:* Initial dose ~ 150 U/kg sc weekly to increase Hct
*:*:*:* Maintenance dose ~ 75 U/kg weekly once Hct goal reached
*:*:*:* Improves symtoms and may reduce left ventricle (LV) mass (via improvemt of hyperdynamic state)
*:*:*:* Side effects = increased blood pressure (BP); may need to augment antihypertensive regimen
* '''Plan for Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)'''
*:* Indications for Dialysis
*:*:* [[Malnutrition]]
*:*:* CrCl M 10-15 mL/min
*:*:* Symptoms of [[uremia]] related complications  ([[pericarditis]], [[encephalopathy]])
*:*:* [[Hyperkalemia]], acidosis not responsive to medical therapy
*:*:* Volume overload / [[CHF]]
*:* RRT modalities
*:*:* [[Hemodialysis]]
*:*:* [[Peritoneal dialysis]]
*:*:* [[Renal transplant]]
*:* Access for [[hemodialysis]] should be established when [[GFR]] < 25 mL/min (estimated ESRD within 1 year)
*:* Diabetics tend to require dialysis sooner than non-diabetics because more symptomatic at given [[GFR]]
* Indications for referral to nephrologist
*:* Unclear etiology of new or chronic [[renal insufficiency]]
*:* For diagnostic evaluation, e.g. [[biopsy]]
*:* [[GFR]] < 50 mL/min:  i.e. '''before''' vascular access/RRT required
