Overview
Chronic renal failure can be complicated by the development of disorders such as hyperuricemia, myopathy, congestive heart failure, pallor, nausea, anorexia, and peptic ulcers amongst other disorders. The prognosis of the disease is poor if mismanaged. If untreated, chronic renal failure (CRF) will progress to end-stage renal disease, which has a high morbidity rate.
Natural History
- Inadequately controlled diabetes and hypertension increase the risk of progression of chronic kidney disease to end stage renal failure.
- Repeated episodes of acute renal injury from infections, drugs, toxins and immunological damage, may accelerate the progression to chronic renal failure, especially in the elderly.
- Even though renal failure is more common in women, the rate of progression of the disease is four times more faster in men than in women.
Complications
Stages of Chronic Kidney Diseases
The stages of CKD is based on the GFR and other renal function abnormalities. The different stages of chronic kidney diseases are as follow:
- Stage 1: GFR>90 ml/min/1.73m2 and evidence of kidney damage
- Stage 2: GFR 60-89 ml/min/1.73m2 and evidence of kidney damage
- Stage 3: GFR 30-59 ml/min/1.73m2
- Stage 4: GFR 15-29 ml/min/1.73m2
- Stage 5: GFR <15 ml/min/1.73m2
ACC/AHA/ESC 2006 Guidelines for Management of Patients With Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
Recommendations for End-Stage Renal Failure
| Class I |
| "1. The acute management of ventricular arrhythmias in end-stage renal failure should immediately address hemodynamic status and electrolyte (potassium, magnesium, and calcium) imbalance. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
| "2. Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, especially in patients awaiting renal transplantation, should be treated conventionally, including the use of ICD and pacemaker as required, in patients who are receiving chronic optimal medical therapy and who have reasonable expectation of survival with a good functional status for more than 1 y. (Level of Evidence: C)" |
Prognosis
The prognosis of patients with chronic kidney disease is guarded as epidemiological data has shown that all cause mortality (the overall death rate) increases as kidney function decreases.[2] The leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease is cardiovascular disease, regardless of whether there is progression to ESRD.[2][3][4]
While renal replacement therapies can maintain patients indefinitely and prolong life, the quality of life of the patient is severely affected.[5][6] Renal transplantation increases the survival of patients with ESRD significantly when compared to other therapeutic options;[7][8] however, it is associated with an increased short-term mortality (due to complications of the surgery). Transplantation aside, high intensity home hemodialysis appears to be associated with improved survival and a greater quality of life when compared to the conventional thrice weekly hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.[9]
