What's Inside the PDF (6 pages, A4)
The document is structured in 10 colour-coded sections with tables, mnemonics, and flowcharts:
| Section | Content |
|---|---|
| 1. Definition & Etiology | KDIGO 2012 definition; causes via mnemonic DIABETES-HG; modifiable/non-modifiable risk factors |
| 2. Pathophysiology | Visual flowchart: Insult → Nephron loss → Hyperfiltration → Glomerulosclerosis → ESKD |
| 3. Classification | Full KDIGO CGA staging table (G1-G5 × A1-A3), colour-coded by risk |
| 4. Signs & Symptoms + Red Flags | System-by-system via mnemonic UREMIA FANS; red flag table for urgent referral |
| 5. Differential Diagnosis | 7 key differentials with distinguishing features |
| 6. Diagnostics | Basic + specific tests; diagnostic criteria using 3-3-3 Rule mnemonic |
| 7. Treatment | Non-pharm (DASH-SPORT), pharmacological drug table (12 classes), surgical options |
| 8. Complications | Mnemonic CHAMP-WAVE covering all major complications |
| 9. Prevention + Prognosis + Emergency | Prevention bullets; prognosis pearls; step-by-step emergency protocols (hyperkalaemia, pulmonary oedema, uraemic pericarditis, acidosis) |
| 10. Counseling + Lifestyle + Special Situations | KIDNEY counseling mnemonic; STOP-SALT lifestyle mnemonic; 7 special scenarios (Diabetes, Pregnancy, Elderly, Contrast, Surgery, HIV, Vaccination) |
