CKD and CVD CKD is an independent risk for all types of CVD In addition, CKD is associated c adverse outcomes in patients c CVD This includes an inc M/M in CAD, PCI, CABG, PTA, CHF, PVD and arrhythmias (not discussed) Both a decrease in GFR and Proteinuria independently increase risk of CVD

CKD and CAD
CKD and CAD
CKD and CAD Treatment: -ASA -Clopidogrel -B Blockers -ACE I/ARB s -Statins (not much data in ESRD x SHARP) -PCI -CABG (Conflicting data re PCI vs CABG)
CKD and CHF CHF Increases c Declining GFR CHF is Leading CV condition in CKD Common etiologies are Pressure/Volume XS Myocardial Interstitial Fibrosis (RAAS/SNS/Endothelin/ADH/TGF/IL1/TNF..)
Synergistic effect of CKD, CHF and Anemia as risk factors for Death 2 yr mortality (n~ 200,000 5% Medicare sample) % Collins, Adv studies in Med 2003
CKD and CHF
CKD and CHF Treatment: -Na restriction -Diuretics (usually higher doses) and UF -ACE I/ARB s -BB (Carvedilol, Metoprolol, Bisoprolol) -Anemia Tx -Ca and Phos Tx to prevent Calcifications
CKD and CVA Independent risk for ICH and Ischemic-RR=1.4 ESRD pts have a 5-10 risk of age match population to equal approx 4%/year Most CVA ischemic 87% in CHOICE study (enrolled 78% ESRD pts and rest CKD 5) Approximately 33% during or just p HD Mortality approx 35%, much higher than non HD population, compared to 12% for CKD only
CKD and CVA Treatment: -Tx HTN -Antiplatelets -Statin rx (controversy in ESRD x SHARP) -CEA in ipsilateral high grade dz
CKD and PVD CKD independent risk factor for PVD NHANES reported prevalence of 24% in CKD Other studies report 7% to 48% prevalence Worse stage/gfr yields worse dz High rate traditional risk factors in CKD pts Nontraditional risk factors abound too
CKD and PVD Treatment: -Antiplatelets -Smoking cessation -Plavix not studied in CKD population -Cilostazol helped in ESRD pts -Statins (as discussed prior) -PTA vs Bypass (ESRD pts may?? do better c PTA)
CKD and SCD SCD defined as sudden death, unexpected within an hour of Sx onset Accounts for 25% of death in ESRD pts Annual rate of 5.5% per year Survival is quite poor at 3-11% at 6 mos SCD incrementally increases c decreasing GFR ESRD pts die from SCD > ACS CKD pts die from ACS > SCD
Epidemiology of SCD : CKD populations CKD stages 3-5 (not dialysis) SCD risk by HR of 1.1 for every 10ml/min decline in egfr Event rate 0.8% per yr in non-dialysis CKD In non-diabetic dialysis patients, rate is 7% in 1 st yr of RRT SCD risk is > for HD than PD patients during 1 st 6 months of dialysis, but equalizes thereafter 70 60 50 40 30 20 CKD 10 0 General Dialysis event rate per 1000 yrs

Am J Kidney Dis 1999; 34: 125-34.
CKD and CVD In Conclusion there is paucity of data here ESRD pts are usually excluded from trials and have a high mortality over a short time frame complicating our ability to study and recruit these most vulnerable pts Thus the Txs for non ESRD pts should be used for ESRD pts and further work is needed
