  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as the presence of kidney damage or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73 mt2, persisting for 3 months or more, irrespective of the cause. […] CKD is usually asymptomatic till stages IV and V. […] The KDOQI guidelines recommend screening high-risk populations which include individuals with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and those older than 65 years with a urinalysis, a urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), measurement of serum creatinine and estimation of GFR preferably by chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. […] Nursing Management includes monitoring ins and outs, watching for nephrotoxic medications, listening to the lungs, assessing edema, observing mental status, administering diuretics as prescribed, monitoring potassium levels, obtaining a 12 lead ECG, ensuring a low protein diet, ensuring a low salt diet, educating the patient on renal failure, and checking BUN and creatinine levels. […] Patients with CKD should be referred to a nephrologist when the estimated GFR is less than 30 ml/min/1.73 mt2. This is the time to discuss the options of renal replacement therapy.

  Chronic kidney disease (CKD) or chronic renal failure (CRF) is characterized by a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. […] The preservation of existing kidney function, reduction of cardiovascular disease risks, prevention of complications, and promotion of the patients comfort are the primary goals of CKD management and treatment. Nurses are responsible for encouraging health promotion activities that can delay and prevent the onset of CKD. Providing accurate information about the disease process and encouraging the patient to adhere to lifestyle modifications are within the scope of the nurse.

Remember waste build up (uremia and metabolic acidosis), anemia, electrolyte imbalances, low urinary output, and fluid overload. […] Uremia (build up of waste in the blood) […] Safety: patient may be confused, assess neuro status […] Low protein diet: urea is a waste product of protein breakdown (patient doesn’t need any more urea). However, patient needs some protein to prevent muscle wasting. […] Anemia: low red blood cells in the blood. RBCs help transport oxygen throughout the body so it can function. […] Why is anemia presenting? Due to low amounts of EPO being produced by the kidneys and possible deficiency in other minerals that help with hemoglobin production (which acts a transporter for RBCs).

Hyperkalemia can be managed using sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate). This drug causes removal of excess potassium through the bowel. […] Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) can be managed with the use of phosphate binding agents. Elevated phosphate levels, related to kidney disease, cause a decrease in calcium levels, ultimately stimulating the secretion of parathyroid hormone. Because excess parathyroid hormone can lead to destruction of bone, control of hyperparathyroidism is essential. Calcium and vitamin D supplementation may also be recommended.

  Patients with chronic kidney disease may experience fragmented care and high-cost treatments that do little to slow disease progression. […] In the Kidney Care Choices (KCC) Model, groups of nephrologists (kidney doctors) and other kidney care providers and practices come together to take responsibility for patients who have late-stage chronic kidney disease, End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), or a kidney transplant. They offer coordinated and seamless care (including dialysis, transplant, and if appropriate, end-of-life care). Additionally, model participants provide education to patients to help empower them to be more active in their care. […] The KCC Model is designed to help health care providers reduce the cost and improve the quality of care for patients with late-stage chronic kidney disease and ESRD. This model also aims to delay the need for dialysis and encourage kidney transplantation.

  By increasing education and understanding of the kidney disease process, aligned beneficiaries may be better prepared to actively participate in shared decision making for their care. […] Participating nephrologists, nephrology professionals, and nephrology practices receive adjusted capitation payments for managing care of aligned beneficiaries with CKD Stage 4 or 5, and for those on dialysis. […] KCEs take responsibility for the total cost and quality of care for their patients, and in exchange, can receive a portion or all of the Medicare savings they achieve.

  Researchers reporting in ACS Sensors incorporated a specialized breath sensor within the fabric of a face mask to detect metabolites associated with chronic kidney disease. […] The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 35 million Americans have CKD, and many more could have the disease without knowing it, possibly at an early stage. […] The team’s sensor correctly identified when a patient had CKD 84% of the time (true positive) and that a patient did not have CKD 88% of the time (true negative). […] The researchers say that these findings present the potential for straightforward, non-invasive and cost-effective monitoring of CKD patients. […] „The implementation of this technology is expected to enhance the management of CKD patients by facilitating the timely identification of changes in disease progression,” say Sergio Bernardini and Annalisa Noce, coauthors of the study.

Regardless of CKD stage, the three main nursing care goals are: prevent or slow disease progression, promote physical and psychosocial well-being, monitor disease and treatment complications. […] Identifying and managing risk factors is the best way to prevent or slow CKD progression. […] Provide patient-specific education to help patients take charge of their condition and promote well-being.
