Overview

It is important to identify patients at risk for developing chronic renal disease, even in patients with a normal serum creatinine levels. Chronic renal failure, requiring dialysis or organ transplant, can often be prevented with early detection and treatment.

Risk factors

  • The kidneys are able to recover from many insults without necessary progression to CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
  • Several factors have been shown to increase the risk of progression.
  • The most studied model of progression to CKD is diabetic nephropathy (DN).
  • Studies have linked the risk of progression to CKD in DN to the following risk factors:
    • Hypertension
    • Poorly controlled diabetes
    • High urinary protein excretion (proteinuria/albuminuria).[1][2][3][4]
  • Other risk factors:
    • Chronic NSAID use[5]
    • Cigarette smoking in diabetic patients.[6]
    • Pre-existing cardiovascular disease including:
      • Stroke
      • Angina
      • Claudication
      • Transient ischemic attack
      • Coronary angioplasty or bypass
      • Recognized or silent myocardial infarction[7]
