AKI & CKD
NigelFong
Practical approach to AKI
1. Is this AKI (vs CKD)?2. What is (are) the causes?3. What are the complications?4. Is dialysis emergent?
Scenario – Q1
Mr Bala is a 67-year old Indian gentleman. One month ago, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, after presenting to the polyclinic with osmotic symptoms. On diagnosis his HbA1c was 9.2%, and he was found to have retinopathy and peripheral neuropathy. He was started on losartan, atorvastatin, metformin, and glipizide. Two weeks ago he complained of muscle aches and saw a GP, who prescribed etoricoxib (arcoxia) with good relief.
He presents to the A&E with non-specific complaints of lethargy and malaise for the past week. In the past 2 days he has also become more breathless. You look through the bloods done in A&E and notice that the creatinine is 340 (eGFR 15) …
Scenario - Q1
Q1. Regarding Mr Bala’s Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), all of the following are correct EXCEPT (Choose 2 of 7)• Mr Bala may not have AKI.• Oliguria conveys a worse prognosis for renal recovery.• Mr Bala’s diabetes does not predispose him to AKI.• A rise in creatinine is expected after initiation of candesartan
and may not constitute AKI.• Unlike COX-1 (traditional) NSAIDs, COX-2 NSAIDs are less
likely to cause AKI.• In identifying the etiology of AKI, an abdominal examination
is critical.• A urine formed element microscopy (UFEME) may reveal
muddy brown granular casts

Scenario – Q3
You look through Mr Bala’s records and discover that at last month’s polyclinic visit, his creatinine was 163 (eGFR 37). On examination, he is breathless, requiring oxygen (2L nasal prongs), with bilateral pitting edema and basal lung crackles.
Available investigations are:• Hb 8.7 , TW 12, Plt 320• Urea 23, Cr 340, Na 136, K 6.2, HCO3 14, Cl 105, Glucose

Mr Bala is diuresed and his hyperkalaemia is corrected. He remains afebrile and blood pressure is stable, but he fails to pass any urine despite a total of 160mg furosemide boluses. The next morning, he becomes confused and increasingly breathless. His oxygen requirement has gone up to 8L via face mask.

Practical approach to CKD
1. How bad is the CKD?2. Why does this patient have CKD?3. How can I retard disease progression?4. What complications do I have to manage?
• A: Anaemia• B: Blood pressure• C: Calcium / Phosphate• D: Vitamin D / PTH / Bone disease• E: Electrolytes - Hyperkalaemia
- Acidosis • F: Fluid overload
5. Is it time to start renal replacement therapy?6. If on RRT, what are the issues with RRT?7. What are the comorbids?
Anaemia in CKD
• Anemia in CKD should be investigated before concluding that it is due to renal disease alone.
• Target Hb: 10-11.5 (avoid <9 or >13)
Management1. Ensure adequate iron stores – PO or IV
(Aim ferritin >500, transferrin saturation >30%)2. Prescribe erythropoietin stimulating agent
Beware risks: HTN, risk of thrombolic event
Blood pressure in CKD
• Most guidelines: aim <140/90 (KDIGO guideline: <130/80 for proteinuric CKD)
Management1. Use an ACE/ARB 2. Adjust dry weight3. Add antihypertensives as needed to meet target
Ca/PO4 / Bone disease in CKD
• Pathophysiology
Ca/PO4 / Bone disease in CKD
• Importance: phosphate is a modifiable risk factor in vasculopathy and cardiovascular death.
Management: stepwise1. Bring down the phosphate
- Diet: phosphate restriction- Phosphate binder
> Calcium-based initially> Non-calcium based if hypercalcemia
2. When phosphate controlled, supplement vitamin D
Ca/PO4 / Bone disease in CKD
Management: stepwise1. Bring down the phosphate2. When phosphate controlled, supplement vitamin D
• Need an activated form of vitamin D.• Note the difference between
> Ergocalciferol / cholecalciferol> One alpha calcidol --- the one for CKD> Calcitriol
Ca/PO4 / Bone disease in CKD
Management: stepwise1. Bring down the phosphate2. When phosphate controlled, supplement vitamin D3. If becomes hypercalcaemic, patient may have developed
tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Options:- Cinacalcet- Parathyroidectomy.
Electrolytes & Fluid in CKD
Hyperkalaemia• Diet• Resonium
Acidosis: • Usually NAGMA initially, then NAGMA + HAGMA• Associated with mortality• Give sodium bicarbonate tab to keep bicarb in normal range
Fluid status:• Fluid restrict• Furosemide
Other tasks in CKD
• Look through all medications: doses often need to be changed
• Treat comorbids• Psychosocial support

Scenario – Q7
Over the next 3 years, he suffers another 2 episodes of acute kidney injury, both precipitated by infections. He also complains of a change in bowel habit, and is discovered to have T3N1M0 colon cancer for which he undergoes an open right hemicolectomy. His creatinine has increased gradually to 342 (GFR 15) and he feels generally lethargic. Despite furosemide doses of 80mg TDS, he still has bilateral pedal edema but is not dyspneic. He remains normokalaemic.

Q7. With regards to dialysis initiation, which of the following options is BEST for Mr Bala? (Choose 1 in 5)• He should be offered peritoneal dialysis, which better
preserves residual urine output• He should be considered for renal transplant.• A tunneled catheter (permcath) should be inserted for urgent
