Overview

Effective measures for the secondary prevention of chronic renal failure include reducing progression, treating complication, and renal replacement therapy(RRT).

Secondary Prevention

Reduce Progression

  • Protective therapy most effective if initiated early, before Creatinine > 1.5-2.0 mg/dL
    • Treat Hypertension
    • Restrict Dietary Protein
      • Controversial – may decrease intraglomerular pressure.
      • Conflicting studies – some show benefit, others do not.
      • No significant adverse effects shown in large trial.
      • Recommendations
        • No restriction (> 0.8 g/kg/d) if GFR 25-55 mL/min.
        • Limit protein to 0.8 g/kg/d if progression or uremic symptoms.
        • Limit to 0.6 g/kg/d if severe renal insufficiency (GFR 13-25 mL/min).
      • Close follow-up by dietician given risk of malnutrition in this population.
    • Control Blood sugar:
      • Tight control (HbA1c < 7.0, [[Fasting blood sugar 70-120) reduces progression in DM I.
      • Unclear if as beneficial in DM II, but potentially helpful.

Treat complications

  • Volume Overload
  • Hyperkalemia
  • Management
    • Low potassium diet (< 60 mEq/d) once GFR < 15 mL/min.
    • Avoidance of salt substitutes (may contain potassium salts).
    • +/- loop diuretic
    • Low dose Kayexelate (5 g with meals) if needed.
  • Calcium/phosphate Abnormalities
    • Reduced renal synthesis Calcitriol/Vitamin D--low serum Calcium-- Secondary hyperparathyroidism.
    • (Occurs when GFR < 40 mL/min)
    • Reduced GFR--phosphate retention
    • Elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH)--mobilization of Calcium from bone; increased excretion phosphate.
    • Allows maintenance of normal Calcium/phosphate while GFR > 30 mL/min.
    • Causes renal osteodystrophy
    • Once GFR < 25-30 mL/min, hyperphosphatemia occurs
    • Therapy goals = normalize Calcium/Phosphate and maintain parathyroid hormone (PTH)< 200 (2-3x uln).
      • Calcium/Phosphate management should be initiated when Creatinine ~ 2.
      • Calcium x phosphate product should be < 60 to prevent met calcification.
      • Low phosphate diet: < 800 mg/d (challenging)
      • Calcium-based oral phosphate binders: Calcium acetate or Calcium carbonate with meals.
      • Avoid Aluminium-based phosphate binders except for acute therapy of high Calcium x Phosphate products.
      • Avoid Calcium citrate (increases gastrointestinal absorption of aluminum)
        • RenaGel = new non-Calcium/Aluminium-containing phosphate binder (cationic polymer).
          • (For patients who cannot tolerate Calcium carbonate or need additional agent)
        • Calcitriol 0.125-0.25 mg/d improves Calcium & Parathyroid hormone levels, decreases bone disease.
  • Metabolic Acidosis
    • Occurs when GFR < 25 mL/min due to inability to excrete H+ ions.
    • Underlying cause = impaired renal ammonia production and bicarbonate reabsorption.
    • Risk = bone buffering of acidosis--worsened Osteodystrophy via Calcium/phosphate loss.
    • Increased skeletal muscle breakdown--loss of lean body mass.
    • Therapy goal = bicarbonate > 22 mEq/L via alkali therapy (NaHCO3 0.5-1 mEq/kg/d)
  • Anemia

Plan for Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)

Recent studies have shown no benefits of initiating early dialysis with improved patient survival. [2]However, advanced preparation for dialysis can help avoid complications like poorly functioning fistula for hemodialysis or malfunctioning peritoneal dialysis catheter, sepsis, bleeding and thrombosis.
