whatis 1+ and 3+ equivalent too on urine dipstick protein
On urine dipstick, 1+ is the equivalent to 30mg/dL and 3 + is the equivalent of 300mg/dl.
complication of CKD electrolytes
The kidney plays a role in the activation of vitamin D. Hence, chronic kidney disease can lead to hypocalcaemia as vitamin D activation is affected.
also hyperkalaemia - aswell as low gfr. In renal failure, there is low sodium delivery to the distal tubule, leading to decreased renal excretion of potassium. H
Acidosis increases the plasma potassium concentration by inducing a net shift of potassium from the intracellular to the extracellular compartment in exchange for hydrogen.
do beta blockers cause hypolgycaemia for the newborn baby
yes - so need to measure the baby

IV fluids
diangosis of CKD made when
A diagnosis of chronic kidney disease is made when eGFR is below 60 on two blood tests three months apart.
All patients with diabetes should have regular albumin:creatinine ratio screening. If the value is >2.5mg/mmol in men or >3.5mg/mmol in women, they should be started on
an ACE inhibitor.
