How do your kidneys work?
• Eliminate waste products from the body
• Eliminate drugs from the body
• Maintain body fluid, electrolyte, and acid
balance
• Produce hormones that:
– Regulate blood pressure
– Promote bone health
– Produce red blood cells
![Page 8: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q. Lam,](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022116/5c7a0c9209d3f24e7d8bc6db/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Types of Kidney Disease
• Acute kidney injury (AKI)
– Sudden loss of kidney function occurring over hours to days
– Can be reversible
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
– Kidney damage or loss of kidney function lasting three months or longer
• End stage renal disease (ESRD)
– Total and permanent kidney failure
– Dialysis or transplant required for survival
![Page 9: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q. Lam,](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022116/5c7a0c9209d3f24e7d8bc6db/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is chronic kidney disease
(CKD)?
• Any condition that damages the kidneys
and prevents them from keeping the body
healthy (present for 3 months or longer)
• Kidneys lose the ability to get rid of waste
products and regulate body fluid
• Associated with complications such as
high blood pressure, anemia, bone
disease, and poor nutrition

CKD: a major public health problem
• 26 million Americans are affected by
kidney disease
– As of 2012, 14% of Americans have CKD
– Affects more than 35% of adults with diabetes
– Affects more than 20% of adults with
hypertension
• CKD costs Medicare $41 billion per year
– 17% of Medicare expenditures

How does my doctor know if I
have CKD? • Blood test for creatinine
– A waste product from muscle breakdown
– Normal: 0.7-1.2 mg/dL
– Depends on muscle mass
• Determine your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) – A measure of your kidney function
– Normal: 90-120 mL/min
• Urine test for protein – A sign of kidney damage, if persistent
– Normal: <150 mg/day

successfully
– Diabetes
– High blood pressure
– Glomerular diseases (immunosuppressants)
• Some causes of kidney disease are
unknown and do not have specific
treatments
– More research is needed

8 steps to prevent and treat
kidney disease
Step #1:
Visit your physician regularly
![Page 24: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q. Lam,](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022116/5c7a0c9209d3f24e7d8bc6db/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
8 steps to prevent and treat
kidney disease
Step #2:
Take control of your blood pressure
![Page 25: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q. Lam,](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022116/5c7a0c9209d3f24e7d8bc6db/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Take control of your blood pressure
• Measure your BP at home regularly
• Your BP goal:
– < 140/90 if your doctor says you have no protein in your urine
– < 130/80 if your doctor says you have protein in your urine
• You may benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker
![Page 26: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q.

• Avoid medications and other agents that are potentially toxic to your kidneys – Non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) (e.g. ibuprofen)
– Intravenous contrast dye (CT scans, angiograms)
– Herbal remedies (e.g. aristolochic acid)

8 steps to prevent and treat
kidney disease
Step #8:
Get educated. Get prepared. Get active.
![Page 34: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q.

Get educated. Get prepared.
Get active.
• Learn about your kidneys
• Understand your disease
• Take an active partnership role in the care of your kidneys – Engage your doctor (ask questions, get clear answers)
– Know and understand your treatment plan (e.g. medications, follow-up tests)
– Recognize when things are not going well or when changes need to be made
• If your kidney disease is advanced, discuss the treatment options with your nephrologist early
• Early preparation is the key to a successful outcome
![Page 35: Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101 ... CKD 101 AlbertLam.pdf · Boston Kidney Health Series 2013 Kidney Disease 101: Function, Causes, and Treatment Albert Q.

What your kidney doctor will do
• Try to determine the cause of your kidney disease and treat if reversible
• Manage the complications of CKD – Hypertension
– Proteinuria (protein in your urine)
– Anemia
– Cardiovascular disease
– Acidosis
– Bone disease
– Nutrition
• Educate you and prepare you for the need for dialysis or transplantation
