Chronic kidney disease • Chronic renal failure involves a long-standing and often deteriorating reduction in renal function. It is irreversible and generally appears over a period of years. Initially, CRF begins as only biochemical abnormalities, but eventually it will result in clinical symptoms. • Although irreversible it can be slowed down • Once reaching a stage where death is imminent without renal replacement therapy, it is referred to as ESRF, i.e. end-stage renal failure. The Peer Teaching Society is not liable for false or misleading information…
Chronic kidney disease • Presentation • One of the most useful signs is bilaterally small kidneys on USS. • Malaise, loss of appetite, insomnia, nocturia and polyuria due to inability to concentrate urine, itching due to high levels of urea, N/V/D, symptoms of anaemia, peripheral and pulmonary oedema, bruising, bone pain due to metabolic bone disease. • In more advanced disease symptoms tend to be more severe, and there may be CNS symptoms such as mental slowing, seizures, or myoclonus. • Eventually there may also be oliguria, which tends to occur in ARF and in the very late stages of CRF.

Quiz An 85-year-old woman is investigated by her general practitioner (GP) for increasing tiredness, which has developed over the past 12 months. She has lost her appetite and feels constantly nauseated. She has lost about 8kg in weight over the past 6 months. For the last 12 weeks she has also complained of generalized itching and cramps. She has been hypertensive for 20 years and has been on antihypertensive medication for that time. She has had two cerebrovascular accidents, which have le her with some le side weakness and reduced mobility. She is an African Caribbean, having emigrated to the United Kingdom in the 1960s. On US she has small kidneys. • What’s the diagnosis? • What is the most common cause? • What are the differences between the acute and chronic form of this disease?
Quiz • What’s the diagnosis?Chronic kidney disease • What is the most common cause?Diabetes mellitus • What are the differences between the acute and chronic form of this disease? Key points • Patients often become symptomatic due to renal failure only when their glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 15 mL/min and thus may present with end-stage renal failure. • Previous measurements of serum creatinine enable the rate of deterioration of renal function to be known. • Renal ultrasound is the key imaging investigation.
