1 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and egfr: Decision and Dilemma Dr Bhavna K Pandya Consultant Nephrologist University Hospital Aintree

2 Topics CKD background egfr background Patient with egfr Referral Guidelines Management Guidelines Other renal related conditions

3 Def: CKD 1. Kidney damage for > 3 months, with or without decreased GFR, as manifest by either pathologic abnormalities; or markers of kidney damage, including abnormalities in the composition of the blood or urine, or abnormalities in imaging tests 2. GFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for > 3 months, with or without kidney damage

4 CKD staging & Action Plan

5 CKD staging Published in a supplement to the American Journal of Kidney Diseases in February K/DOQI stands for Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative - a research K/DOQI involves the development of evidencebased clinical practice guidelines to improve patient outcomes.

6 Need for UK specific guidelines K/DOQI terminology and classification Different healthcare system Referral criteria Optimum method of management

7 DECLARATION As per original declaration : Our guidelines including this presentation are prepared in accordance with original K/DOQI guidelines, Renal Association and UKCKD guidelines which are dependant upon the best information available at the time of publication. They are designed to provide information and assist decision making. They are not intended to define a standard of care, and should not be construed as doing so. Neither should they be interpreted as prescribing an exclusive course of management. Variations in practice will inevitably and appropriately occur when clinicians take into account the needs of individual patients, available resources, and limitations unique to an institution or type of practice.

9 CKD facts Prevalence exponentially with age; diabetes (Type 2 DM--25% CKD stage 3) and vascular disease Late referral; significant extra cost and poor clinical outcomes Progression of CKD Majority don t Risk of cardiovascular disease Risk of death outweighs the risk of progression

10 W h ich G F R value w hen s Creat = 80 µm ol/l? S Creat (? mol/l) < 65 yrs > 65 yrs Froissart, Rev Prat, 55: 2223, 2005 Measured GFR (ml/min/1.73m 2 )

11 Conditions in w h ich G F R should be m easured w ith an exogenous tracer Levey et al, Kidney Int, 67: , 2005

12 Burden to our region? All CKD 10% - 200,000 CKD stage 3 & > 5% - 100, Nephrologists CKD 3 & > patients/nephrologist!! CKD 4&5 (0.4%) 727/Nephrologist

13 Resources No. of dialysis patients No. of CKD F.U.s Nurses-dialysing nurses, other nurses Dietician Pharmacist

14 Why this session? To increase awareness and understanding To exchange the views

15 What to do?

16 egfr > 60 no kidney disease Unless Proteinuria, haematuria abnormality on images Refer if: Malignant HBP Nephrotic syndrome Systemic illness e.g. vasculitis Structural abnormality on USS, e.g. Polycystic kidney disease. Or??? Management: Dipstick urine when visiting surgery next time 12 monthly review of BP, Dipstick urine and egfr Refer : if proteinuria, fall in egfr or other indications as in CKD 3

17 e-gfr Stable Acutely ill Treat illness (?ARF) Repeat egfr in 1 week Refer if in s.cr>30% or in egfr>20% Previous s.creatinine NO YES

18 e-gfr Stable Acutely ill Previous s.creatinine NO YES Check list: Illness-CHF, sepsis, dry, drugs, bladder symptoms, Repeat in 5 days-dipstick urine If no major change repeat in 1 month Refer : if fall in e-gfr>15% or other criteria met for CKD stage 3

19 e-gfr Stable Acutely ill Previous s.creatinine NO YES in s.cr>20% Yes- Refer No- equivalent stable s.cr - CKD management programme or Refer if other criteria met according to management guidelines

20 e-gfr Stable Acutely ill Previous s.creatinine Treat illness (?ARF) Repeat egfr in 1 week Refer if in s.cr>30% or in egfr>20% NO YES Check list: Illness-CHF, sepsis, dry, drugs, bladder symptoms, dipstick urine Repeat in 5 days in s.cr>20% If no major change repeat in 1 month Refer : if fall in e-gfr>15% or other criteria met for CKD stage 3 Yes- Refer No- equivalent stable s.cr - CKD management programme or Refer if other criteria met according to management guidelines

21 Dipstick Urine If available (&& ACR- checked twice ) If unavailable Send ACR if protein + or more Send MSSU Do not recall patient Organise dipstick test with next blood tests.*** send for ACR if protein + or more Refer: if ACR (Albumin Creatinine Ratio) > 60mg/mmol, Microscopic haematuria + proteinuria (ACR>45mg/mmol) Send MSSU

22 Microscopic haematuria CKD 1 and 2 Isolated microscopic haematuria -urology referral. No referral to Nephrologist-CKD management programme Refer -Associated with proteinuria (ACR>45mg/mmol on 2 occasions after excluding infection) CKD stage 3- Refer exclude urological cause in >50

23 Proteinuria Treat the cause if obvious e.g. Diabetes, Hypertension, ACEI and or ARB Independent and strong risk factor for progression Monitoring-ACR (Albumin Creatinine Ratio) Refer if ACR >60mg/mmol (without haematuria) or >45mg/mmol (with haematuria)

24 Management of CKD Stage 3 CKD management programme General Measures Weight reduction Exercise Smoking cessation (Nurse/ dietician) Influenza and Pneumococcal vaccine Drugs- HBP British Hypertensive Society guidelines, Refer if refractory high blood pressure Diabetes separate flow chart Lipids British Joint Society Guidelines Aspirin and Statins Vasculature.

25 Management of CKD Stage 3 CKD management programme Specific Measures Check annually ( six monthly for newly diagnosed or progressive) egfr (Refer if fall >15% or rise in s.cr >20% over 6-12 months or longer) Serum Potassium (K+) Refer if greater than 6.0 mmol Serum Calcium (Ca++) Refer if less than 2.1 mmol Serum Phosphate (Pi) Refer if greater than 1.5 mmol Haemoglobin (Hb) Refer if less than 10 gram % ( Check Haematinics including Iron levels? I V Iron. EPO funding only available for CKD stage 4 and 5.) ACR if dipstick positive as above- Refer if. USS scan of Kidneys- If deterioration of renal functions due to ACEI or ARB, Urinary tract symptoms, episodes of LVF with normal Echo Refer

35 Immediate/Urgent Referrals ARF-inpatient Immediate Malignant HBP» S.Potassium>7.0 Nephrotic Syndrome ACR >300mg/mmol New advanced kidney failure egfr<15 Multisystem disease lupus, vasulitis

36 CKD facts Progression is associated with proteinuria and uncontrolled hypertension Optimal management of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease also reduces the risk of progression from early CKD to ERF
