Q

Referral to a nephrologist

A

ACR >70 (unless known diabetic and already appropriately treated)
ACR >30 + persistent haematuria after UTI excluded (2/3 show >1+)
Consider if ACR 3-29 plus persistent haematuria and other RFs - declining eGFR, cardiovascular disease

Q

HTN in CKD
First line
GFR <45

A

ACEi - esp good in proteinuric renal disease diabetic

At this point furosemide is useful, added benefit of lowering serum K

A
Thickened GBM
Mesangial expansion
Kimmelstein-Wilson nodules 
Disruption of podocytes 
(Glycation of basement membrane of efferent arteriole -> glomerular pressure -> dilation of afferent arteriole -> further inc in pressure -> hyperfiltrarion ( inc in GFR)
