Study Notes
Diabetes and Related Pharmacology
- Sitagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, enhancing glucose-dependent insulin secretion.
- Thiazolidinediones are associated with a higher risk of bone fractures.
- Type 1 diabetes is the type mostly likely to progress to ketoacidosis.
- GLP-1 agonists are beneficial for managing obesity in addition to diabetes.
- Glimepiride is likely to cause hypoglycemia as it stimulates insulin secretion.
Insulin Types and Administration
- Long-acting insulin is typically administered once daily to maintain stable blood glucose levels.
- The basal-bolus regimen offers flexibility in meal planning, allowing for better individual management of diabetes.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Indicators
- Proteinuria is a common early sign of CKD and indicates potential kidney damage.
- Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by albuminuria, serving as a marker for kidney damage.
- Hyperkalemia is a common disturbance linked to potassium-sparing diuretics.
Complications and Monitoring of Diabetes and CKD
- Peripheral neuropathy is a potential long-term complication of chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes.
- Vitamin D analogs help control secondary hyperparathyroidism in CKD patients.
- The urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio assesses the severity of proteinuria in CKD.
Managing Kidney Health
- Goals for managing hyperparathyroidism in CKD include suppressing parathyroid hormone secretion.
- Serum creatinine is measured primarily to evaluate renal filtration ability.
- Phosphate binders are used to manage hyperphosphatemia in CKD.
Glucose Monitoring and Management
- Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) provides immediate feedback on blood glucose levels.
- Insulin secretagogues, such as sulfonylureas, stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreas.
Serious Side Effects and Role of Kidneys
- Metformin can cause lactic acidosis, particularly in those with renal impairment.
- The kidneys regulate blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), influencing blood volume and vascular resistance.
CKD Progression Monitoring
- The Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is the primary test used to monitor CKD progression.
- Microalbuminuria is a common early indicator of kidney damage in individuals with diabetes.
