Q

pathophysiology of chronic kidney disease

A
  • progressive destruction/deterioration of nephrons

- hypertrophy of remaining nephrons to compensate

Q

what leads to symptoms of chronic kidney disease?

A
  • nitrogenous waste builds up in blood

- kidneys perform fewer excretory, endocrine, and metabolic fxns

Q

what percent of kidney fxn do pts in stage 3 have?

A

30-59%

21
Q

stage 4 chronic kidney disease

A

severe kidney fxn

22
Q

what percent of kidney fxn do pts in stage 4 have?

A

15-29%

23
Q

stage 5 chronic kidney disease

A

kidney failure

24
Q

what percent of kidney fxn do pts in stage 5 have?

A

0-14%

25
Q

medical management of CKD pts

A
  • conservative care
  • dialysis
  • kidney transplant
26
Q

conservative care is a way to medically manage pts in which stage of CKD?

A

stages 1 & 2 (GFR>60)

27
Q

what does conservative care consist of?

A
  • decrease nitrogenous waste retention (modified diet to decrease protein intake)
  • control HTN, fluids, electrolyte imbalance by limiting fluid, sodium, potassium intake
  • correct/control diabetes, HTN, chronic HF, hyperparathyroidism
28
Q

dialysis is for pts in what stage?

A

stage 5 but sometimes 4

*GFR <30 decision made on case by case basis

29
Q

dialysis

A

artificial blood filtration

30
Q

pts with what GFR must be under dialysis?

A

<15%

31
Q

percent of pts do hemodialysis

A

80%

32
Q

percent of pts that do peritoneal dialysis (dialysis at home)

A

20%

33
Q

what is the decision to start hemodialysis?

A

GFR + clinical presentation

34
Q

how often is hemodialysis?

A

every 2-3 days, 3-4 hours per session

35
Q

are pts sick in between sessions of dialysis?

A

no, pts live a normal life relatively

36
Q

what percent of normal renal fxn does hemodialysis provide?

A

only 15%

37
Q

what is the best day to txt pts for dental care?

A

day after dialysis

38
Q

what is surgically created in the forearm of dialysis pts?

A

AV fistula/graft

39
Q

what does the AV fistula/graft allow?

A
  • good access

- good blood flow

40
Q

can we use the AV fistula/graft to check BP?

A

NO, only for urologist to use

41
Q

dental management of CKD pts that are conservatively managed

A
  • no contraindications to routine dental care but consult physician
  • avoid/adjust dosage of nephrotoxic drugs and those excreted by kidneys if GFR <60?
42
Q

what are common dental drugs CKD pts should avoid?

A
  • NSAIDS

- Tylenol

43
Q

why is Tylenol nephrotoxic when the liver metabolizes it?

A

because kidney excretes it

44
Q

dental management of CKD pts on hemodialysis

A
  • physician consultation
  • dental txtment on day after dialysis
  • avoid nephrotoxic drugs and those metabolized by kidney
  • no BP cuff on AV shunt
45
Q

is antibiotic prophylaxis indicated for CKD pts on hemodialysis?

A

no, will get out of system at next dialysis session
