risk for precipitating left ventricular fialure, headache, nausea, vomiting
electrolyte disorders
important in renal failure; hypoerphosphatemia; hyperkalemia
antihypertensive for renal failure
ACE inhibitors and ARBs; reduce risk for major CV events
vit D analogues for renal failure (FYI)
used to manage secondary hyperPTH
diuretics in renal failure
treat edema; lower tendenct to develoop hyperkalemia; decrease blood pressure
potassium sparing diuretics in renal failure
should be used cautiously, hyperkalemia associated with heart failure
renal failure and epoeitin
often have impraied EPO levels and anemia; need treatment
hyperphosphatemia
increased blood phosphate levels
chronic kidney disease hyperphosphatemia
hallmark, big risk of CV disease
hyperkalemia
high blood potassium levels; more severe than phosphatemia
medications inducing hyperkalemia
K+ sparing diuretics, NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors
phosphate binding agents
prevent absorption by forming insoluble complexes in GI tract
aluminum hydroxide
bind phosphate in GI
aluminum hydroxide adverse effects
increase Al levels in dialysis patients (toxic)
calcium carbonate
binds phosphate in GI tract
calcium carbonate effects
increase calcium levels: helps hypocalcemia in CKD but may cause calcification
sevelamer hydrochloride
non calcium based phosphate binder; anion exhcange resin
sevelamer hydrochloride effects
less likely to lead to tissue calcification, lowers LDL cholestrol, GI disturbances, affects fat soluble vitamin absorption, dont use in hypophsophatemia or bowel obstruction
how to treat hyperkalemia
cation exchange resin to bind potassium in colon
sodium or calcium polystyrene sulfonate
binds K in colon in exhcange for Na or Ca
sodium or calcium polystyrene sulfonate and sorbitol effects
increased risk for GI, bleeding, ischemic cholitis, perfroation, constipation
glucose + insulin mechanism
insulin activates Na/K ATPase to move K into cells
salbutamol
B2 agonist linked to Na/K ATPase - causes K uptake into cells
