Management of Chronic Kidney Disease: Work-Up and Treatment Strategies

This presentation discusses the work-up and management of chronic kidney disease (CKD) before nephrology referral. It covers the definition of CKD, work-up steps including history and investigations, and management strategies such as treating underlying causes, controlling risk factors, and lifestyle interventions. The case of a 72-year-old male with CKD is also presented, highlighting key considerations in patient assessment and care.

1. Management of Chronic Kidney Disease; Before the Nephrologist Stuart McAdam, MD, FRCPC General Internal Medicine The Moncton Hospital April 2022

2. Conflicts of Interest Nothing to disclose 2

3. Objectives Describe an approach to the work-up of chronic kidney disease (CKD) Outline an approach to the management of CKD Describe the indications for dialysis Understand when you should refer to a Nephrologist 3

4. Case 72 yo M referred for management of CKD PMH: HTN, Diabetes, CKD, Smoker Meds: Perindopril 4mg daily, Metformin 500mg BID, Semaglutide 0.5mg subcut weekly Feels like he s getting old, some mild edema O/E : BP 148/70, HR 82, sats 96% RR 16, weight 70kg Regular pulse, JVP 5cm, Normal S1/S2 no EHS or murmurs, lungs clear, abdo soft, non-tender, mild edema bilaterally Labs: Na 133, K 4.8, HCO3-18, Cl 100, Cr 150 (was 148 six months ago), Urea 6.8, GFR ~40ml/min/1.73cm2 WBC 9, HgB 98, Plts 230, Albumin 38, Calcium 2.20, Phos 1.10, PTH 7, Alk P 70, U ACR 300mg/g, A1c 7.0,ECHO Jan 2022 Diastolic dysfunction. 4

5. Chronic Kidney Disease CKD: Defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function for >3 months1 Estimated 700 million people have CKD2 1. KDIGO Kidney Int 2013 2. Webster et al. Lancet 2017 5

6. CKD Work-Up History Exclude nephrotoxins Risk factors (Diabetes, HTN, Smoking, Obesity, Family History, Age) General review of systems Physical BP, Volume Status Investigations CBC, Lytes, Ext Lytes, HCO3, Cr, Urea, PTH, Alk P, Urinalysis, U ACR, Kidney U/S , Iron Studies, Lipid Profile, A1c Further Investigations guided by situation may include: SPEP, Free light chains, ANCAs, Anti-GBM, ANA, Anti-dsDNA, C3, C4, HIV, Hep B, Hep C, Cryoglobulins, Kidney biopsy 6

7. Management of CKD Treat underlying cause Treat risk factors: Ensure HTN, DM well controlled Restrict sodium intake to <2g sodium/day1 *Key point* Sodium increases BP and proteinuria, and blunts response to RAAS blockade Lifestyle 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week. Healthy weight, No smoking Renally adjust medications, and avoid nephrotoxins Multidisciplinary care team Manage complications 1. KDIGO Kidney Int 2013 7

8. Blood Pressure in CKD ACE-I or ARB first line if proteinuric CKD3 Re-check lytes and Cr in about 2 weeks Continue unless Cr increases >30% within 4 weeks Sprint CKD Criteria GFR 20- 59, <1g proteinuria/day or ACR<600mg/g4 If diabetic <130/80 3.

11. 6. Quaife (n.d.) 11

12. Hyperkalemia in CKD Potassium restricted diet Optimize acid-base status Review medications that could contribute Continue ACE-I/ARB if you can, but may need to reduce dose or stop Add diuretic if indication Potassium binders Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (Kayexalate) Patiromer Sorbitex Calcium (Veltassa) and Sodium Zirconium Cyclosilicate (Lokelma) Dialysis Management acutely is separate 12

13. Volume Overload Target euvolemia Sodium restriction Diurese as needed to target euvolemia *Key Point* Regardless of creatinine 13

14. Anemia in CKD Do usual work-up for anemia Supplement iron if ferritin 500 and TSAT 30%7 *Key Point* Suggest not using erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA) if HgB 100 If HgB 100 despite optimizing iron stores, consider ESA after weighing risks and benefits Suggest not targeting a HgB above 115 with ESA 7. KDIGO Anemia CKD. Kidney Int 2012 14

15. Acid Base in CKD Target bicarbonate 22 with oral bicarbonate supplementation1 15.4 to 23.1 mEq/day sodium bicarb in divided doses Typically start around 500-650mg BID then titrate 1. KDIGO Kidney Int 2013 15

16. CKD Mineral and Bone Disorder Target phosphate in normal range1,8 Phosphate binders If hypercalcemic avoid ones containing calcium Secondary hyperparathyroidism Optimal PTH level not known If persistently high look to optimize risk factors; hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, vitamin D deficiency Consider calcitriol in CKD stage 4-5 with severe and progressive hyperparathyroidism Increased risk of osteoporosis 1.

17. Proteinuria 9. McFarlane et al. Can J Diabetes 2018 17

18. Proteinuria Non-diabetic CKD: ACE-I or ARB if albumin excretion >300mg/day1 Diabetic CKD: ACE-I or ARB if >30mg/day or ACR 2mg/mmol ACE-I and ARB are nephroprotective, reduce progression of CKD and proteinuria10 Monitor electrolytes and renal function, careful the lower the GFR Sodium restricted diet <2g sodium/day SGLT-2 inhibitors11 10. Hou et al. NEJM 2006 11. Heerspink et al. NEJM 2020 1. KDIGO Kidney Int 2013 18

19. 4303 participants with GFR 25 to 75 and urine ACR 200 to 5000 mg/g Randomized to Dapagliflozin 10mg daily or placebo All patients were on stable dose of ACE-I or ARB, unless unable Primary Outcome sustained decline in GFR of at least 50%, ESRD, or death from renal or cardiovascular causes Primary outcome in 9.2% Dapagliflozin vs 14.5% placebo, HR 0.61 p<0.001 Dapagliflozin discontinued in 12.7% vs 14.4% placebo, amputation rate 1.6% vs 1.8% placebo, major hypoglycemia 0.7% vs 1.3% placebo, no DKA with Dapa, volume depletion 5.9% vs 4.2% placebo (p=0.01) 11.

24. Indications for Dialysis AEIOU Refractory to medical management Acidosis Electrolyte abnormalities hyperkalemia Intoxication certain toxicities Overload volume overload Uremia cognitive impairment, pruritis, loss of appetite, pericarditis 1. KDIGO Kidney Int 2013 24

25. When to refer to Nephrology in CKD AKI or abrupt sustained fall in GFR GFR < 30 cc/min/1.73 m2 Consistent significant albuminuria (ACR 300mg/g or AER 300mg/day, approx. equal to PCR 500mg/g or PER 500mg/day Progression of CKD Urinary red cell casts, >20 RBCs per hpf sustained and not explained CKD and HTN refractory to treatment with 4 or more antihypertensive agents Persistent abnormalities of serum potassium Recurrent or extensive nephrolithiasis Hereditary Kidney Disease Indication for dialysis 1.

26. Back to the Case 72 yo M referred for management of CKD PMH: HTN, Diabetes, CKD, Smoker Meds: Perindopril 4mg daily, Metformin 500mg BID, Semaglutide 0.5mg subcut weekly Feels like he s getting old, some mild edema O/E : BP 148/70, HR 82, sats 96% RR 16, weight 70kg Regular pulse, JVP 5cm, Normal S1/S2 no EHS or murmurs, lungs clear, abdo soft, non-tender, mild edema bilaterally Labs: Na 133, K 4.8, HCO3-18, Cl 100, Cr 150 (was 148 six months ago), Urea 6.8, GFR ~40ml/min/1.73cm2 WBC 9, HgB 98, Plts 230, Albumin 38, Calcium 2.20, Phos 1.10, PTH 7, Alk P 70, U ACR 300mg/g, A1c 7.0,. ECHO Jan 2022 Diastolic dysfunction. 26

27. Case Stage 3 CKD, likely from diabetes, hypertension Order urinalysis, kidney U/S, SPEP Treat risk factors: Target BP <130/80, DM control, quit smoking Diet: Salt restrict <2g sodium /day. Education on low potassium diet Edema: Diurese, start furosemide 27

28. Case Hypertension: Target <130/80, optimize fluid status, and perindopril, monitor lytes, renal function Proteinuria: Optimize perindopril, SGLT2- Inhibitor in time Acidosis: Start sodium bicarbonate Anemia: Order usual work-up, optimize iron stores Dyslipidemia: Order lipid profile, start statin 28

29. Take Home Points Sodium restrict patients with CKD Optimize volume status, diurese as needed ACE-I/ARB and SGLT2-I to reduce proteinuria, progression of CKD Optimize iron stores in anemic patients 29
