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]

Etiology/cause

Bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS) may cause 5% to 15% of cases of chronic kidney disease.[2]

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 [3]

Treatment

Medications

Angiotensin inhibition

Angiotensin can be inhibited with either angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors[4] or angiotensin II receptor antagonists. These medications can help patients with an elevated creatinine,[5] including those with a creatinine of 1.5 to 5.0 mg per deciliter.[6]

Phosphate binders

Phosphate binders (calcium carbonate 650 mg tabs three times per day by mouth and calcitriol 0.25-0.5 µg once per day) are given once a patient has Stage 3 disease in order to prevent secondary hyperparathyroidism.
