CKD -(answer)Type of Renal Failure:

Kidney damage or a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) lasting for 3 or more months

-GFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 for 3 or more months

-May result from Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, HTN, and obesity, glomulerulonephritis and
polynephritis; polycystic, hereditary, or congenital disorders; and renal cancer

-Associated disease processes:Nephrosclerosis and Primary glomular disease

-If untreated, can result in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)



Inflammation

GFR

BUN and creatinine

Anemia, metabolic acidosis, imbalanced calcium and phosphorus, fluid retention -

Stage 3-4:____________________________

Stage 5:______________________________



125 -(answer)Normal GFR?



Stage 1 -(answer)Stage of CKD:

GFR: 90 or above

Kidney damage with normal or increased GFR



Stage 2 -(answer)Stage of CKD:

GFR: 60-89

Kidney damage with mild decrease in GFR

Severe decrease in GFR



Stage 5 -(answer)Stage of CKD:

GFR: Less than 15 or dialysis/ kidney transplant

ESKD or chronic renal failure



Primary Glomerular Disease -(answer)Associated Disease Process of CKD:

Diseases that destroy the glomerulus of the kidney



Antigen antibody complexes formed in the blood become trapped in glomerular capillaries, leading to
inflammation and glomerular destruction



Symptoms include: proteinuria, hematuria, decreased GFR, decreased excretion of Na+, edema, and
HTN



Nephrosclerosis -(answer)Associated Disease Process of CKD:

Hardening of the renal arteries, reducing blood flow to the kidneys

Leads to necrosis of renal parenchyma, fibrosis, and glomerular destruction



Acute Nephritic Syndrome -(answer)Primary Glomerular Disease:

Renal failure with glomerular inflammation



Glomerulonephritis -(answer)Primary Glomerular Disease:

Inflammation of glomerular capillaries (acute or chronic)

Acute Glomerulonephritis -(answer)Associated Disease Process of CKD:

Develops suddenly (days to weeks)

Inflammation of the glomerular capillaries



Caused by previous infections or illnesses- strep throat, viral URI, chicken pox, lupus



Symptoms include: Hematuria, edema , azotemia or proteinuria



Chronic Glomerulonephritis -(answer)Associated Disease Process of CKD:

Develops over time (over months or years)

Repeated insults to the glomeruli causes scar tissue and atrophy of the cortex



Caused by repeated episodes of nephritic syndrome, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, hyperlipidemia,
lupus, goodpasture syndrome, or diabetes



"Silent S&S": HTN, elevated BUN or creatinine, imbalanced electrolytes

Generalized symptoms: Wt. loss, nocturia, headaches, digestive disturbances

Progressive kidney damage: Anemia, poorly nourished, grayish skin color, edema, cardiomegaly,
respiratory (fluid build up)



Nephrotic Syndrome -(answer)Associated Disease Process of CKD:

A group of clinical manifestations due to protein wasting through damaged glomeruli



Damaged glomeruli capillaries become permeable to protein resulting in protein loss in the urine

Hypoalbuminemia develops and causes a decrease serum osmotic pressure which causes fluid shift
