  1. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) BY: DR. NAUSHAD PERVEZ

  2. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

  3. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) What Kidneys Do? • Filter waste from blood • Remove excess fluid • Adjust the levels of minerals and chemicals • Produce hormones regulating blood pressure and other body functions

  4. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Causes of Kidney Disease Diabetes: • Well controlled blood sugar will slow the progression to a kidney disease

  5. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Causes of Kidney Disease Cont. • High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): • Damages the blood vessels and reduces the blood supply to the kidneys. Proper control can slow the progression to kidney disease

  6. blood pressure control

  7. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Causes of Kidney Disease Cont. • Glomerulonephritis • Nephrotic Syndrome • Polycystic Kidney Disease • Systemic Lupus Erythematotsus • Kidney Infections • Kidney Stones • Prostate Obstruction • Illegal Drugs and Alcohol • Excessive Use of OTC (over the counter) Medication

  8. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Signs and Symptoms Of Kidney Disease • Initially NO SYMPTOMS • Cloudy of Foamy urine (reddish or brown in color) • Fatigue and Weakness • Decreased appetite • Swelling of Legs and Puffiness of eyelids • Metallic taste in the mouth • Shortness of breath

  9. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

  10. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Complications of Kidney Disease • Increased Heart Attacks • Increased Strokes • Increased Infections • Weak Bones • Anemia • Dialysis • Death

  11. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stages of CKD

  12. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Know Your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) • GFR is a calculation of your kidney function • GFR can be calculated from the results of a simple blood test considering factors such as age, race and gender • If you have Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, a Family History of Kidney Disease, or any other risk factor, ask your doctor about having tests done for GFR

  13. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Prevention • Maintain a healthy weight • Check cholesterol at least yearly – must be less than 199 • Check Blood Sugar at least once a day – must be controlled at 70-120 before meals • Check HgA1C (if a diabetic) quarterly – must be less than 6.2 • Check your Creatinine – normal 0.6 – 1.2 • Ask your physician to check your urine for protein • Good blood pressure control (120/70) through proper diet and exercise. Take blood pressure medications as prescribed by your physician • Avoid Arthritis medications • Avoid smoking • Maintain a yearly physical

  14. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Facts About Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) • 20 million Americans – 1 in 9 US adults have CKD and another 20 million more are at increased risk • Early detection can help prevent the progression of kidney disease to kidney failure • Heart disease is the major cause of death for all people with CKD • Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the best estimate of kidney function • Hypertension causes CKD and CKD causes hypertension

  15. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Facts About Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Cont. • Persistent proteinuria means CKD • High-risk groups include those with diabetes, hypertension and family history of kidney disease • African American, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Native American and seniors are at an increased risk • Three simple tests can detect CKD: • Blood Pressure • Urine Albumin • Serum Creatinine
