Question
6 steps to slowing progression of CKD:

​NB: Remember CHD risk equivalent

1. ACE inhibitor or Angiotensin receptor blocker (slow progression to ESRD with additional advantages over blood pressure lowering alone)
2. Tight blood pressure control
  • Multiple antihypertensive medications and dietary sodium restriction may be required
  • Targets: < 140/90 mmHg without DM, < 130/80 mmHg with DM
3. Use of a statin in patients with dyslipidemia (target LDL < 2 mmol/L) - shown to prevent CV events and may slow the rate of decline
4. Recommend [...] cessation (independent risk for development/progression of CKD)
5. glycemic control in patients with diabetes mellitus (HbA1C < 7%)
6. Patients with eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2 should avoid NSAIDS, COXIBs and other nephrotoxins such as intravenous contrast if possible
Answer
smoking
