16Pitfalls in the use of eGFR
Dear Doctor I would be grateful for your advice
on the management of this 45 year old man who has
a creatinine measured at 186 mmol/l. Urinalysis
is negative for blood and protein and his BP is
normal

22Quantifying proteinuria
- There is now good evidence that proteinuria can
be assessed from a single urine sample
(preferably an early morning sample), and can
provide a reliable predictor of a fall in GFR. - Twenty four hour urine collections are therefore
unnecessary for this.
Renal NSF
23Quantifying proteinuria
24Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Albuminuria/proteinuria
- Haematuria
- Reduced GFR (raised plasma urea and creatinine)

29QUALITY REQUIREMENT ONE People at increased risk
of developing or having undiagnosed chronic
kidney disease, especially people with diabetes
or hypertension, are identified, assessed and
their condition managed to preserve their kidney
function. Markers of good practice All people
at increased risk of CKD are identified, and
given appropriate advice, treatment and support
to preserve their kidney function. People
identified as having an increased risk of CKD
have their kidney function assessed and
appropriately monitored, using estimated GFR.
Implementation of the NICE clinical guideline on
the management of Type 1 diabetes.
Implementation of the NICE clinical guidelines on
the management of Type 2 diabetes renal disease
blood glucose blood pressure and blood lipids.
Implementation of the NICE clinical guideline on
the management of hypertension in adults in
primary care.
30QUALITY REQUIREMENT TWO People with a diagnosis
of chronic kidney disease receive timely,
appropriate and effective investigation,
treatment and follow-up to reduce the risk of
progression and complications. Markers of good
practice All people diagnosed with CKD have
access to care which is sensitive to the
differing needs of culturally diverse groups, to
maximise the benefits of treatment and minimise
the effects of the disease and have a care
plan. Use of the best available evidence to
inform the management of blood pressure,
cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular risk,
and urinary tract obstructions and infections in
people with CKD. In people with diabetes and
CKD, interventions to reduce microvascular
complications, in accordance with the National
Service Framework for Diabetes. Implementation
of the forthcoming NICE guideline on the
treatment of anaemia in CKD. Referral from
primary care to the specialist renal service at
an appropriate stage to optimise outcomes.

37- Management in Primary Care
- Patient Information leaflets and advice including
lifestyle - information, stopping smoking, exercise, weight
management - Perform renal ultrasound only if history
suggestive of - urological disease or if ve FH or polycystic
kidney disease - Treat hypertension Threshold for Rx 140/90
- Target 130/80 (125/75 if PCR gt100 mg/mmol)
- ACEi or ARB as first line agents
- Suggest patient buys own BP meter
- Treat hyperlipidaemia according to local
non-renal guidelines - Aspirin if indicated
- Influenza / pneumococcal vaccination
- Review medications. Avoid NSAIDs
38 RENAL GUIDELINES ADULTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY
DISEASE
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is now
staged according to the estimated Glomerular
Filtration rate (eGFR). eGFR is calculated from
the age, sex and serum creatinine measurement by
the chemical pathology laboratory. The normal
range is gt90 ml/min. The stages of CKD are as
follows
Over the age of 40 eGFR normally declines at a
rate of 1ml/min/year
