Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) - Basics to Mastery

di DEAN STRATTON (Autore)

Viruti Shivan, 2025

From first principles to clinic decisions, this guide demystifies the full spectrum of renal dysfunction. You'll learn how eGFR and albuminuria jointly stage risk; why diabetes and hypertension accelerate decline; and how to slow loss with ACEi/ARB, SGLT2 inhibitors, blood-pressure and glycemic targets, statins, and lifestyle. Lab interpretation is made practical (creatinine vs cystatin C, ACR, sediment), with clear approaches to proteinuria, hematuria, electrolytes, acid–base, anemia, and mineral–bone disease. Nutrition chapters translate evidence into plate-level choices (sodium, potassium, phosphorus, protein). Acute on chronic kidney injury, referral timing, and conservative care are covered alongside dialysis (HD/PD) and transplant pathways. Realistic vignettes—like a 52-year-old with new albuminuria facing work-up, or an octogenarian weighing dialysis versus comfort—model shared decision-making, deprescribing, and safety. ? Clinic-ready algorithms for evaluation, staging, referral, and longitudinal monitoring. ? Medication playbooks: ACEi/ARB titration, SGLT2 initiation, MRA cautions, and GFR-based dose adjustment. ? Stepwise nutrition: sodium and potassium limits, protein targets, phosphate control, label-reading tips. ? Dialysis & transplant primers: modality selection, access care, adequacy, complications, immunosuppression overview. ? Complication guides: anemia, CKD-MBD, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, volume overload, pruritus. ? Safety checklists: contrast exposure, sick-day rules, NSAID avoidance, perioperative planning, vaccination cues.
