Pathophysiology - Consequences

Reduced GFR

  • ↓ Production of urine → ↑ extracellular fluid volume → total-body volume overload

  • ↓ Excretion of waste products (e.g., urea, drugs)

  • ↓ Excretion of phosphate → hyperphosphatemia

    • During the early stages of CKD, plasma phosphate levels will typically be normal due to the increased secretion of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23). [4]

      • FGF23 is produced by osteoblasts in response to initial hyperphosphatemia and increased calcitriol.

  • ↓ Maintenance of acid-base balance; → metabolic acidosis

  • ↓ Maintenance of electrolyte concentrations → electrolyte imbalances (e.g., Na+ retention)

Reduced endocrine activity

  • ↓ production of calcitriol → (in combination with ↓ excretion of phosphate) → ↓ serum Ca2+ → ↑ PTH

  • ↓ Erythropoietin → ↓ stimulation of erythropoiesis

Complications

  • CKD-mineral and bone disease

  • anemia (↓ synthesis of erythropoietin → ↓ stimulation of RBC production → normocytic, normochromic anemia)
