Anemia of CKD (Therapeutics)

Anemia of CKD (Therapeutics)

  • blood loss/hemorrhage, hemolytic anemia, anemia of chronic disease

    What are the causes of Normocytic Anemia? (3)

  • infection, autoimmune processes, Pens/Cephs, sulfas, thiazides

    What are the causes of Hemolytic anemia? (5)

  • folate/B12 deficiency, chronic alcohol intake, metformin

    What are the causes of Macrocytic anemia? (3)

  • iron deficiency

    What is the cause of Microcytic anemia?

  • Hb, hematocrit, MCV, MCH, reticulocytes

    Which labs are used to evaluate anemia? (5)

  • Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH)

    -average weight of hemoglobin in RBCs

  • a,b

    Which will have a sustained MCV?

    a) hemolytic anemia

    b) anemia of chronic disease

    c) microcytic anemia

    d) macrocytic anemia

    What is the normal range for Hematocrit (Hct)? (males)

  • MCV, reticulocyte

    Which labs may be normal in Anemia? (2)

  • assess/correct for any causes of inflammation, correct iron deficiency, replace EPO

    What is the treatment for Anemia of CKD? (3)

  • TSat <30%; Ferritin <500ng/mL

    When do we initiate Iron supplementation? (2)

  • TSat <10%; Hgb < 8g/dL

    What are the requirements for a patient to be diagnosed as severe anemia?(2)

  • IV

    In patients on hemodialysis, ______ iron supplementation is preferred.

  • 1-3 month trial of oral iron for non-HD patients

    What are KDIGO recommendations for iron supplementation?

  • 200 mg/ day; must take with food; titrate dose

    How do we dose Oral Iron supplements?

  • >=3-4 months after anemia resolves; allow iron stores to replenish

    How long should patients receive Oral Iron supplements?

  • TSAT <30%; ferritin <500ng/mL

    How can we tell a patient hasn't responded to oral iron supplementation?
