Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment
questions with correct solutions
CKD criteria ✅✅eGFR < 60
Albuminuria >= 30
CrCl < 60 ✅✅Moderately reduced kidney function
CKD common other conditions ✅✅Diabetes, hypertension
CKD with hypertension ✅✅Ace inhibitor or ARB
CKD with diabetes ✅✅SGLT2 inhibitors -gliflozin
Reduce progression of CKD ✅✅Finerenone
CKD + Mineral and Bone disorder ✅✅Monitor parathyroid hormone, phosphorus,

Sevelamer hydrochloride, ferric citrate, aluminum hydroxide, calcium acetate, calcium
carbonate
Vitamin D deficiency treatment ✅✅Calcitriol, Paricalcitol
Secondary hyperparathyroidism treatment ✅✅Cinacalcet
Anemia of CKD ✅✅Hemoglobin < 10
Anemia of CKD treatment ✅✅Erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs): epoetin alfa,
darbepoetin alfa

Hyperkalemia treatment 1st ✅✅stabilize the heart. Calcium gluconate
Hyperkalemia treatment 2nd ✅✅Move it (shift K). Regular insulin, dextrose, sodium
bicarbonate, albuterol
Hyperkalemia treatment 3rd ✅✅Remove it (K). Furosemide, sodium polystyrene
sulfonate, Patiromer, Sodium Zirconium cyclosilicate, hemodialysis
Metabolic acidosis treatment ✅✅Sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate
