• 15% of >65yr olds have CKD III-V
• 60% of >75yr olds have CKD III-V
• ~8.8% of UK population have CKD 3-5 (3.5 million)
Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Stages by
Age Group in NHANES 1988-1994 and 1999-2004
The aging kidney
• Heterogeneous
• Loss of renal mass
• Glomerular and interstitial
fibrosis
• Reduced sodium handling
• Acid-base balance
• Water homeostasis

What is normal in an elderly population?
• GFR decline of 0.8-1.4 ml/min/1.73m2/yr ?
• How do you measure GFR?
– MDRD
• Poorly validated in elderly
• Poor concordance
– Cystatin-C
• ?better detection of changes in GFR
• Accuracy uncertain
• No reference standard

What happens to the elderly with CKD?
• No CKD
– 0.07% risk of progression to ESKD over 3yr
– Mortality 10%
• CKD 3
– 1.1% risk of progression to ESKD over 3yr
– Mortality 24.3%
• CKD 4
– 17.6% risk of progression to ESKD over 3yr
– Mortality 45.7%

Progression of non-diabetic CKD
• Progression relates to haemodynamic + metabolic
factors
– Intra-glomerular hypertension
– glomerular hypertrophy
– albuminuria >1000 mg/day
• Reduce glomerular pressure and proteinuria
RAS blockade and proteinuria in non-diabetic
CKD
• Benefit of ACEi if…
– Proteinuria >1000mg/d
– Even if normotensive
– Combined with
• low Na+ diet
• Diuretics
– ? 500-1000mg/d
– ? if >70yr
Other drugs and proteinuria in non-diabetic
CKD
• ARBs
– Antiproteinuric effect equivalent to ACEi at 5-12 months
– SMART trial
– 269 patients
– >1g/d proteinuria on 16mg candesartan
– 33% reduction in proteinuria at 128mg candesartan
• Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonists
– Effective if >300mg/d irrespective of BP
• Lesser proteinuric effect with
– β-blockers
– Diuretics
– α-blockers
Combination therapy in proteinuria
• ACEi + ARBs
– Data in diabetic nephropathy
– Limited data in non-diabetic proteinuria
– No data to show improved renal outcome
• ACEi +/- ARB + spironolactone
– Further reduction in proteinuria
– Not on maximum dose of ACEi
– Risk of hyperkalaemia
Pragmatic approach to proteinuria in CKD
1. ACEI
2. or ARB
3. + loop diuretic
4. Think about
– ACE + ARB
– ACE + spironolactone
– Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers
Reducing BP and progression of CKD –
MDRD trial
Close circles = usual BP130/80
Open circles = low BP125/75
Klahr et al NEJM 1994;330:877
Other trials
• African American Study of Kidney Disease (AASK)
– Ramipril more effective than amlodipine or metoprolol in
African Americans
– No difference in GFR decline between 128/78 and 141/85
– 22% reduction in composite with ACEi (GFR decline, ESKD
and death)
• Meta-analysis
– Risk of progression correlates with:
• Proteinuria >500mg/d
• Systolic >120
Wright et al JAMA 2002;288;2421
ACEi in elderly with CKD?
• All CKD trials excluded >70yr olds
• More side effects with ACEi
– Hypotension
– Hyperkalaemia
• Elderly less likely to have proteinuria
– NHANES
– >70 yrs + eGFR <60 + ACR >30 = 13%
• Absolute indication?
– Proteinuria >1g (uPCR >100)
“Recommendations”
• Target BP…….
– Proteinuria low: ACR<70 or PCR<100
• Target BP <140/90 (NICE suggests 130139/90)
– Proteinuria high: ACR>70 or PCR>100
• Target BP <130/80 (NICE suggests 120129/80)
• ACEi
BP targets and age in CKD
• Do the CKD guidelines need to be modified for the
elderly?
• Benefits from blood pressure reduction do not seem
to have age limits
• Consider average BP at different ages -
Any other strategies to reduce progression or
CV risk?
• Lipid lowering therapy?
– SHARP
– 9500 pts with CKD
– Simvastatin vs simva+ezetimibe vs placebo
– Composite of major vascular event (MI or stroke)
– Reporting Nov 2010
• Correct anaemia with EPO?
Functional ability in the elderly with CKD
• 3x more likely to be frail than if normal renal function (10% vs
4%)
– Associated with increased hospitalisation
– Institutionalisation
– Death
• Increased falls
– 30%/yr of >75yr olds with ESKD
• Cognitive decline
– 70% of >55yr olds with ESKD
• Nutrition
• Poor cardiovascular fitness
What happens to elderly patients with
progressive CKD?
“The aim of dialysis is not only to prolong life but also to
restore quality by permitting a sufficiently independent
existence with minimal support”

Patients with multiple co-morbidities may
not benefit from dialysis
• Can we predict those who are likely to do poorly?
• Renal association and The Gold Standards Framework
– “ if patient should have at least 1 core and 1 disease specific
indicator then that a patient may benefit from a palliative
care approach”
– Core indicators are likely to be
• Recent, significant functional decline (loss of ADLs)
• Dependency in 3 or more ADLs
• Multiple co-morbidities
• Weight loss
• Serum albumin less than 25
• Karnofsky score less than or equal to 50%
Conservative management of CKD 5
• Outlined in the NSF
“Patients with progressive renal failure in whom dialysis is
deemed inappropriate or who choose not to start RRT
should continue to receive the benefit of the resources
available to the renal service to provide a robust support
package.”
• Supportive care should be offered as alternative to dialysis
– Does NOT mean no treatment
– Continued support from multidisciplinary team
– Symptom treatment
– Treatment of anaemia with erythropoietin
What’s the evidence?
• Study done at The Lister
– Cohort of low clearance pts 19% (63)
recommended for palliative therapy, pts more
functionally impaired but co-morbidity score not an
independent factor
– 10 opted for dialysis
– median survival on dialysis 8.3 m,vs 6.3 m (NS)
– death in hospital: dialysis 65% vs palliative 27%
Dialysis vs conservative care

Dialysis in nursing home residents
• “treatment may improve functioning and/or alleviate
symptoms, even if it does not extend life”
• 3,702 nursing home residents with ESRD (mean age
73.4y
• MDS-ADL score
Tamura et al NEJM 2009: 361, 1539–1547
Functional status before dialysis was maintained
in only 13% of survivors
Tamura et al NEJM 2009: 361, 1539–1547
To summarise….
• Majority of CKD in elderly
– Non-proteinuric
– Non-progressive
• CKD guidelines are not one-size-fits-all
• The main challenge is reducing cardiovascular death
• Which patients will benefit from dialysis?
