Key points in management of adults with SCN
Annual ACR and protein/creatinine ratio |
Patients with SCN are more likely to develop AKI during intercurrent illnesses |
Avoid NSAIDs in patients with SCN |
Further investigation if protein/creatinine ratio > 50 mg/mmol or eGFR < 60 mL/min |
ACEi/ARB if persistent proteinuria (>50 mg/mmol) |
Consider HU if proteinuria and/or CKD |
Meticulous blood pressure control (<130/80 mmHg) |
Consider ESAs and HU if anemia is worsening |
Consider early renal transplantation in ESRF |
