,Question:
Stage 2 CKD
Answer:
GFR 60-89
There is kidney damage with mild decrease in GFR




Question:
Stage 3 CKD
Answer:
GFR 30-59
There is moderate decrease in GFR
* This is a significant phase! GFR below 60- still a chance to improve function
and avoid dialysis.




Question:
Stage 4 CKD
Answer:
GFR 15-29


There is severe reduction in GFR .
Once this stage is reached, progression to the next stage is inevitable, as well
as dialysis or kidney transplant being necessary .

,Question:
Stage 5 CKD
Answer:

Needs dialysis or kidney transplant




Question:
Dialysis and so determining who is the candidate for dialysis
Answer:
Based on symptoms, kidney function, overall health status, individual
circumstances




Question:
Six reasons for dialysis
Answer:
1. Metabolic acidosis. (Low pH)
2. Hyperkalemia, with EKG changes - peaked T waves.
3. Drug toxicity (salicylates, lithium, isopropanolol, methanol, Etheline
glycol).
4. Fluid overload (not responding to diuretics)/ HTN/ pulmonary edema
5. Uremic symptoms - due to nitrogenous waste in bloodstream.
6. Progressive loss of kidney function.

, Question:
Number one cause of ESRD
Answer:
DM + HTN combined




Question:
Why anemia occurs in ESRD
Answer:
Reduce production of erythropoietin, which is responsible for triggering the
production of RBCs, rather than the lack of iron or a reduction in the RBCs




Question:
Symptoms of CKD
Answer:
•Hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia
•Anemia
• hyperkalemia With abnormal EKG findings and elevated T waves
• Excess hydrogen ions, causing metabolic acidosis
• Uremia, which can cause pericarditis, encephalitis, bleeding, and increased
risk of infections (the second most common cause of death for end stage renal
disease patients)
• Fluid volume overload-diuretics can be used to stimulate renal function for
patients in stage 1 to 3. If diuretic therapy fails, or if in stage four or five and
dialysis is indicated.
