Chronic kidney disease is defined as "kidney damage or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2) for 3 months or more, irrespective of cause. Kidney damage in many kidney diseases can be ascertained by the presence of albuminuria, defined as albumin-to-creatinine ratio >30 mg/g in two of three spot urine specimens."[1]
Classification
There are five stages:[1]
- Stage 1 - glomerular filtration rate is 90 ml/min/1.73 m2 or more
- Stage 2 - glomerular filtration rate is 60-89 ml/min/1.73 m2
- Stage 3 - glomerular filtration rate is 30-59 ml/min/1.73 m2
- Stage 4 - glomerular filtration rate is 15-29 ml/min/1.73 m2
- Stage 5 - glomerular filtration rate is less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m2 or on dialysis
Signs and symptoms
Uremia, "the illness accompanying kidney failure", may have subtle manifestations when the glomerular filtration rate falls below 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 [2]
Treatment
Medications
Angiotensin inhibition
Angiotensin can be inhibited with either angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors[3] or angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors can also help patients with an elevated creatinine,[4] including those with a creatinine of 1.5 to 5.0 mg per deciliter.[5]
