[Progression factors for chronic kidney disease. Secondary prevention].
The natural history of most chronic kidney diseases (CKD) indicates that glomerular filtration gradually declines over time, progressing to more advanced stages of kidney failure. Since the publication of the first studies by the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study Group, numerous factors have been identified that can accelerate this progression. Some are dependent on the etiology, but other are common to all and may accelerate progression of kidney disease: Non-modifiable progression factors for CKD: - Etiology of kidney disease - Degree of initial kidney function - Gender - Age - Ethnicity/Other genetic factors - Birth weight Modifiable progression factors for CKD: - Proteinuria - High blood pressure - Poor glycemic control in diabetes - Smoking - Obesity - Metabolic syndrome/Insulin resistance - Dyslipidemia - Anemia - Metabolic factors (Ca/P, uric acid) - Use of nephrotoxic drugs. Therapeutic intervention on these factors has shown that it reduce the rate of progression of CKD (Strength of Recommendation A).There is no clear evidence that correction of these factors slows CKD (Strength of Recommendation C), although it has been shown to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular risk at other levels.
