Using Teamwork for Effective Management of CKD and Mineral and Bone Disorders

Craig B. Langman, MD and Kim Alleman, MS, RN, FNP-BC, CNN
(ANNA Fall Symposium, Chicago, IL. September, 2008.) 1.25 CNE
Langman: How has FGF23 changed the way we look at phosphate and vitamin D hydroxylation in CKD? Is FGF23 a risk marker for mortality? If so, can it be reduced by lowering serum phosphate? How effective are various P-binders? How does serum phosphate relate to survival and vascular calcification? What did Treat to Goal, the Takei study, and RIND show with respect to calcification and P-binders? How does treatment with P-binders affect calcification in predialysis patients? What are the nontraditional effects of sevelamer, and how might these impact on calcification? How is bone remodeling linked to vascular calcification? How do P-binders compare re mortality? How might vitamin D deficiency affect mortality in CKD? How prevalent are low levels of 25-D and 1,25-D? How might vitamin D affect cardiovascular function? What do observational studies show re Vitamin D treatment and survival in CKD?
Alleman: What are the goals of treatment in CKD-MBD? What are our current target lab values? How well or how poorly are we doing in achieving these targets? How can we put together an effective collaborative approach to manage CKD-MBD? What are the team members and what are their roles? What are useful methods to promote collaboration? (more...)

Managing Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Benefits to Patients

Mary Schira, PhD, RN, ACNP, BC, CNN-P
(ANNA Fall Symposium, Chicago, IL. September, 2008.) 1.25 CNE
Schira: How does anemia develop as kidney function decreases? What are the various functions of red blood cells? What are the causes of anemia in CKD? Where does erythropoietin come from? When does it work in the lifespan of the RBC? How does inflammation affect erythropoiesis? What are the symptoms of anemia? How does KDOQI guide us to evaluate patients for anemia? What do RBC indices tell us? How does anemia lead to increased costs? What are KDOQI therapy targets? What are potential benefits of treating anemia? What are the potential risks of overtreatment? What patient factors affect anemia diagnosis and treatment? (more...)

What You Can Teach Your Team About Chronic Kidney Disease-Related Mineral Bone Disorder (CKD-MBD)

Rebecca Schmidt, DO, FACP, FASN and Sharon Senft, RN-C, FNP
(ANNA National Symposium, Philadelphia, PA. April, 2008.) 1.5 CNE
Dr. Schmidt and Ms. Senft: Part One: What is happening to the prevalence of CKD? What is the incidence by race and ethnicity? What are the associated conditions? How many millions have CKD? Are they aware of it? Who is at greatest risk? What did we find in West Virginia? What can we learn from the case of a young diabetic with CKD? Part Two: What is this young patient's likely outcome? His mortality risk? What is the risk for hospitalization due to congestive heart failure? Expected remaining lifetime? How do serum calcium and serum phosphorus relate to mortality risk? What about the coronary artery calcification score? How can one assess vascular calcification? Part Three: How can we optimize outcome by intervening early in CKD- related mineral bone disorder? How can we achieve optimal bone health and minimize risk for vascular calcification? How do we manage a case with high serum phosphorus and high serum calcium? What about a case with high phosphorus and low serum calcium? When do we combine binders? What are the challenges in managing hyperphosphatemia? What is the calcium balance associated with various calcium baths? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each class of phosphate binders? What are their comparative efficacies? What is sevelamer carbonate and why might it be an improved binder? What can you teach your team about CKD-related bone mineral disorder (CKD-MBD)? (more...)

New Perspectives on the Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification and Patient Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease

Wajeh Qunibi, MD, FACP and Lynda Szczech, MD, MSCE
(ANNA National Symposium, Philadelphia, PA. April, 2008.) 1.5 CE
Qunibi: How do the various phosphate binders compare in terms or their ability to control serum phosphorus in the real world? What are the population attributable risks to elevated serum phosphorus, calcium, and PTH? What is the evidence that calcium-based phosphate binder dose is linked to calcification, and to what extent might this be operating through hyperphosphatemia in noncompliant patients? What did the CARE-2 study show? What were the mortality outcomes results in RIND and DCOR? What do the 2003 KDOQI bone disease guidelines recommend regarding phosphate binders and what might be the economic implication of these recommendations? Szczech: What are the statistical issues involved when examining observational association of laboratory values (e.g. serum calcium, phosphorus, and PTH) vs. mortality? What characterizes patients with high serum phosphate? High serum calcium? What do time varying analyses of change in these values show? Are there any clinically relevant differences between calcium carbonate and calcium acetate? Which calcium-based binder types were used in the various trials -- RIND, Treat to Goal, DCOR, and CARE-2? What are the potential pitfalls of looking at intermediate outcomes in trials of phosphate binders? (more...)
