Evaluate Initial Results
Before continuing, please consider:
- Low eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) in such scenarios may reflect acute kidney injury (AKI) and require more rapid evaluation.
- Measure with serum eGFR and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR).
Are the initial results ABNORMAL? (ABNORMAL = eGFR < 60ml/min/1.75m2 and/or urine ACR ≥ 3mg/mmol)
- CKD detection should be done in the absence of acute intercurrent illness or self-limited illness.
