β2-microglobulin accumulation in patients with ESRD has been associ-

Cardiovascular
In addition to hypertension, cardiovascular disorders are common in patients with CKD. More than 60% of patients with ESRD who start dialy­sis have echocardiographic manifestations of left ventricular hypertrophy, dilation, and systolic or diastolic dysfunction. Metabolic consequences of CKD, including accelerated atherogenesis, contribute to metastatic cal­cification in the myocardium, cardiac valves, and arteries. Arrhythmias, including those resulting in sudden death, may be caused by electrolyte abnormalities, cardiac structural changes or ischemic cardiovascular dis­ease. Pericarditis can occur in patients with uremia before they start dial-
CKD and characterized predominantly by changes in cognitive func-
tion and sleep disturbances. Lethargy, irritability, asterixis, seizures,
and frank encephalopathy with coma are late manifestations of ure-
mia and are usually avoided by timely initiation of kidney replacement
therapy. Peripheral neurologic manifestations appear as a progressive
symmetrical sensory neuropathy in a glove-and-stocking distribution.

ception. Peripheral motor impairment can result in restless legs, foot-

platelet adherence and aggregation, are common in patients with ure­mia. Uremic bleeding can be generally controlled with cryoprecipitate, desmopressin, conjugated estrogens, treatment of anemia, and dialysis.
Defects occur in both the humoral and cellular immune systems in patients with CKD. Although the leukocyte count is normal and appropriately responsive in advanced CKD, patients are generally immunosuppressed and susceptible to infections. This may be due to functional abnormalities of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lympho­cytes, and other cellular host defenses. Additionally, patients with CKD may have a variable immune response to vaccination.
Endocrine and Metabolic
Thyroid function testing may be less reliable in uremia. Common lab­oratory findings include an increased triiodothyronine resin uptake, a low triiodothyronine level resulting from the impaired conversion of thyroxine to triiodothyronine peripherally, and normal thyroxine levels. Thyroid-stimulating hormone levels are usually normal.
A deranged pituitary-gonadal axis can result in sexual dysfunction exhibited by impotence, decreased libido, amenorrhea, sterility, and uterine bleeding. Patients have decreased plasma levels of testoster­one, estrogen, and progesterone, with normal or increased levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormones, and prolactin. Pregnancy is uncommon in female patients who have a GFR of less than 30 mL per minute.
Lipid abnormalities are also common in CKD. They are most con­sistent with type IV hyperlipoproteinemia, with a marked increase in plasma triglycerides and less of an increase in total cholesterol. The activity of lipoprotein lipase is decreased in uremia, with a reduction in the conversion of very-low-density lipoprotein to low-density lipo­protein and thus hypertriglyceridemia. The treatment of choice is the hydroxymethylglutaryl–coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA) inhibitor class of drugs, especially in CKD patients not yet on maintenance dialysis, because of their pluripotent effects on inflammation and atherosclerosis.
Electrolytes
Hyperkalemia occurs in patients with CKD as a result of decreased renal clearance of potassium, intracellular to extracellular shifts of potassium in the setting of metabolic acidosis related to kidney failure, and the concomitant use of medications such as RAAS blockers. The primary method of treatment is dietary reduction of potassium but may also include use of loop diuretics or potassium-binding medica­tions. Hypokalemia is much less common in CKD but may occur in the setting of very poor nutritional intake or use of high-dose potassi­um-wasting diuretic medications.
Skin
Uremic hue, a yellowish skin color, is likely the result of retained liposol­uble pigments, such as lipochromes and carotenoids. Uremic hue usu­ally responds to dialysis, control of hyperparathyroidism, improved calcium and phosphate balance, and, occasionally, ultraviolet rays. Nail findings of uremia include the half-and-half nail, characterized by red, pink, or brownish discoloration of the distal nail bed, pale nails, and splinter hemorrhages. Other common signs and symptoms include pruritus, and ecchymoses due to disorders of bleeding. Calciphylaxis, or calcific uremic arteriolopathy, results in painful skin calcification and is often seen in patients with uncontrolled hyperparathyroidism. Use of warfarin is suggested to be a risk factor for this condition.
DIAGNOSIS
Comprehensive care of kidney disease includes screening, diagnos­ing, and treating CKD and complications of CKD to prevent CKD
development and progression (E-Fig. 30.4). Screening for CKD is recommended in patients with high-risk comorbid disease, including diabetes mellitus and hypertension and those with a family history of kidney disease. The diagnosis of chronic kidney disease requires demonstrating evidence of kidney damage that has been persistent for at least 3 months. Imaging abnormalities may be consistent with kidney damage, but more commonly this is shown by detection of albuminuria or by reductions in the clearance of toxins by the kidney. Albuminuria may be detected in a spot collection of urine and is best when reported as an albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). In general, an ACR of 30 mg/g or greater confirmed on repeat sample and without evidence of urinary infection raises concern for a diagnosis of CKD and warrants additional investigation.
Measurement of clearance of toxins by the kidney is most often estimated as the glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Initial assessment should be performed using a serum creatinine-based estimating equa­tion. These include the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study Equation and the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. Each of these has limitations and cautions regarding application of its results, and a detailed overview can be found in the KDIGO 2012 Clinical Practice Guidelines. Another serum biomarker, cystatin C, may be considered and integrated into another estimating equation for patients who have an eGFR 45-59 mL/ min/1.73 m2 and who may not have albuminuria or kidney imaging abnormalities to confirm evidence of CKD.
Once a diagnosis of CKD is established, management goals include (1) prevention of progression of CKD, (2) identifying and treating symptoms and complications of CKD, and (3) preparing patients for renal replacement therapy (RRT) where appropriate.
TREATMENT
Prevention of Progression
In addition to treatment of the specific underlying cause of kidney disease, methods used to slow progression of CKD include optimal control of hypertension, diabetes, and other cardiovascular disease risk factors (i.e., tobacco cessation), use of medications that block the RAAS pathway, diet modifications, avoidance of nephrotoxins, and addressing potentially reversible causes of acute kidney injury in the setting of CKD.
Management of Hypertension and Diabetes
Several controlled trials have conclusively confirmed that treatment of hypertension attenuates the rate of progression of kidney disease. The present recommendation is to target blood pressure to lower than 130/80 mm Hg in patients with diabetes or kidney disease. However, the evidence supporting this recommendation in CKD is limited and there is debate suggesting a higher target may be acceptable. Medications that block the production or effect of angiotensin II prevent the pro­gression of CKD above and beyond control of hypertension in patients with proteinuria. Dihydropyridine calcium-channel blockers have not been shown to be as beneficial as ACE inhibitors or ARBs in slowing CKD progression.
For patients with diabetes mellitus, adequate glycemic control has been shown to prevent progression of CKD. Recommended goal gly­cosylated hemoglobin (A1c) measures are less than 7% irrespective of a concurrent diagnosis of CKD, although this level of glycemic con­trol warrants caution due to hypoglycemic risk (see Chapter 68). ACE inhibitors and ARBs may be considered in patients with diabetes and proteinuria, but without hypertension, to slow CKD progression. More recently, use of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown beneficial effects on kidney outcomes mainly in patients

with type 2 diabetes and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular dis­ease. Several other studies suggested that treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists could also have beneficial effects on kidney outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Diet
Dietary protein restriction is advocated to slow progression of CKD. Several meta-analyses indicate that reduced protein diets may be modestly beneficial to slow CKD progression, but the largest clinical trial, the MDRD study, did not show a significant benefit. The rec­ommended dietary protein intake in advanced CKD is 0.60 g/kg per day with at least 50% of the protein being of high biologic value. The present consensus is that aggressive dietary management in patients with CKD, with proper restriction of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein intake under the supervision of a dietician, may reduce progression of CKD, albeit to a small extent.
Avoidance of Toxic Drug Effects
Many drugs that are excreted by the kidney should be avoided, or their doses should be reduced, as shown in Table 30.2. Drugs may injure the kidney in many ways, including direct toxicity leading to acute tubular necrosis, induction of interstitial nephritis, or develop­ment of urinary crystals that obstruct the kidney. Common classes of medications that injure the kidney include antibiotics, specifically aminoglycosides; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors; and antiretroviral medica­tions. Over-the-counter herbal medications, including aristolochic acids, may cause CKD. Others, such as St. John’s Wort, may interact with kidney transplant medications and should be avoided. Iodinated radiocontrast agents can cause acute worsening of kidney function, especially in patients with CKD. Iso-osmolar contrast agents are less toxic than high-osmolar agents. Patients at high risk for contrast­induced kidney injury should receive adequate hydration, and the volume of the contrast should be minimized. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent gadolinium, has been associated with the severe fibrotic skin condition of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with advanced CKD.
Reversible Causes of Acute Deterioration in Kidney Function
The rate of decline in GFR for individual patients is generally log lin­ear. Accordingly, plotting 1/serum creatinine against time usually pre­dicts the rate at which a specific patient will reach ESRD (E-Fig. 30.5). When such a patient suddenly shows acute worsening of kidney func­tion, the differential diagnosis should be considered and investigated, as described in Chapter 29.
Care for the Patient With End-Stage Renal Disease
As CKD progresses to kidney failure, preparation is needed for RRT. Patients with moderate CKD should be referred to a nephrologist for co-management, including evaluation of risk for CKD progression, estimation of timing until initiation of RRT, and education related to RRT. Late referral (<3 months before ESRD) is associated with a higher risk for death after initiation of RRT.
Renal Replacement Therapies
For patients who are suspected to progress to ESRD, discussions to inform patients and their family about available options of RRT should occur early and be paired with an assessment of the expectations and values of the patient. Options include kidney transplantation, dialysis or medical management without dialysis, sometimes referred to as con­servative care. In suitable candidates, kidney transplantation is encour­aged because it allows a better quality of life, increased survival rate, and greater chance for rehabilitation. In 2016, 87.3% of incident individ­uals began renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis (HD), 9.7% started with peritoneal dialysis (PD), and 2.8% received a preemptive kidney transplant. Kidney transplants may be from either deceased or living donors. In the United States in 2016, 20,161 kidney transplants were performed, 28% of which were from living donors. There are two types of dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The distri­bution of patients receiving various modalities differs in other coun­tries. Maintenance dialysis is initiated when the patient displays signs of uremia, usually when eGFR is 10 mL per minute or less and there are no apparent reversible causes of kidney failure. However, maintenance dialysis may be started at any time when complications of ESRD, such as volume overload and hyperkalemia, cannot be controlled medically.

Hemodialysis
As illustrated in Fig. 30.4, blood is pumped from a vascular access into tubing that leads to a large number of capillaries bundled together in a dialyzer (E-Fig. 30.6). The capillaries are made up of semisynthetic materials and are semipermeable, capable of allowing exchange of small molecules. Moving in the opposite direction to blood is a dialy­sate solution that is passing through outside the capillaries, thus allow­ing countercurrent exchange. This solution contains sodium chloride, bicarbonate, and varying concentrations of potassium. Diffusion through the membrane allows low-molecular-weight substances such as urea and organic acids to move across according to the concentra­tion gradient. Fluid is removed by ultrafiltration, which is achieved by applying transmembrane hydrostatic pressure across the dialyzer.
In the setting of ESRD, an average patient undergoing intermittent maintenance hemodialysis requires 4 hours of dialysis 3 times a week. Common complications during hemodialysis include hypotension and muscle cramping. Avoiding excessive fluid weight gain can mini­mize these complications.
Access for hemodialysis. The recommended access for hemodialysis
is a permanent access such as an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or arteriovenous graft (AVG), rather than an indwelling catheter. Although the goal is for more than 70% of prevalent hemodialysis patients to use an AVF or AVG for dialysis access (http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/), many patients continue to use catheters, especially at the time of initiation of maintenance hemodialysis. Temporary catheters are placed into the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins similar to other central venous lines. Permanent catheters have a cuff around the outer wall of the tubing and tunnel under the chest wall skin for some distance before entering the internal jugular vein. Catheters have higher rates of infection and a higher risk for mortality compared with AVF and AVG.
Peritoneal Dialysis
In peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneal capillaries act as a semipermeable membrane like a hemodialysis dialyzer. This technique has several
advantages over hemodialysis because it allows independence from the long time spent in dialysis units, it does not require as stringent dietary restrictions, and more patients return to full-time employment. In con­tinuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, dialysate of 2- to 3-L volumes is instilled through a peritoneal catheter (E-Fig. 30.7) into the perito­neal cavity for varying amounts of time and exchanged 4 to 6 times daily. In continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis, the patient is connected to a machine referred to as a cycler that allows inflow of smaller vol­umes of dialysate with shorter dwell time overnight while the patient sleeps. Modifications in this regimen can be made to fit a patient’s lifestyle and still achieve adequate clearance of toxins and removal of fluid. Ultrafiltration is achieved through increasing dextrose concen­tration in the dialysate. Two major drawbacks of peritoneal dialysis are peritonitis and difficulty in achieving adequate clearances in patients with excess body mass. Peritonitis can be treated with intraperitoneal antibiotics. Additionally, a slow deterioration occurs in the permeabil­ity of the peritoneal membrane, especially after one or more peritonitis episodes, leading to inadequate dialysis and, ultimately, the need to change the modality of RRT.
Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplantation is the preferred modality of RRT. In suitable candidates, it provides patients with superior survival and a better quality of life compared to remaining on maintenance dialysis. It is also a more cost-effective long-term treatment option compared to maintenance dialysis. The variety of available immunosuppressive therapies, including calcineurin inhibitors (cyclosporine and tacro­limus), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors (siro­limus and everolimus), mycophenolate mofetil/mycophenolic acid, and novel agents such as belatacept have resulted in excellent short­and long-term graft survival.
Types of kidney transplants. Kidney transplant donors may
be deceased or living and, among those living, may be related or unrelated. The majority of deceased donation occurs after brain death but can also occur after cardiac death. Deceased donor 1-year and 5-year graft survival is 93% and 75%, and a living donor is 98% and 85%, respectively.
There is an effort to increase living donation because the deceased donor supply is inadequate, resulting in prolonged waiting times for recipient candidates on the deceased donor waiting list. The advantages and disadvantages of living versus deceased donor trans­plantation are summarized in Table 30.3. The use of kidney paired donation and/or desensitization allows for transplantation of recipi­ents with potential donors who are blood group or immunologically incompatible. Kidney paired donation utilizes exchange algorithms to bypass incompatibility by matching blood group or human leu­kocyte antigen (HLA)-incompatible recipient-donor pairs with other incompatible pairs, resulting in each donor donating a kidney to the other person’s intended recipient. On the other hand, desensitization utilizes antibody-directed therapy such as plasmapheresis or intra­venous immunoglobulin to reduce donor-specific HLA antibodies or blood group antibodies in recipients to prevent acute rejection despite blood group or HLA incompatibility. As a means of expand­ing the supply of deceased donor kidneys and reducing deceased donor waiting times, kidneys from marginal donors such as those of advanced age or with comorbid conditions such as hypertension and cerebrovascular disease are utilized in selected recipients who would benefit from earlier transplantation. In addition, increased Public Health Service risk donors, such as those who have a history of intra­venous drug abuse, are increasingly being utilized. In the setting of negative nucleic acid testing, the absolute risk of transmission of hep­atitis C, human immunodeficiency virus, and hepatitis B virus from these donors is less than 1%.
