Chronic kidney disease is defined by the presence of kidney damage or decreased kidney function for at least three months, irrespective of the cause. 2 Kidney damage generally refers to pathologic anomalies in the native or transplanted kidney, established via imaging, biopsy, or deduced from clinical markers like increased albuminuria— that is, albumin‐to‐creatinine ratio (ACR) >30 mg/g ...
Use of kidney trajectory charts as an adjunct to chronic kidney disease
Objectives Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects up to 11% of the population. General practice is at the forefront of the identification of patients with declining kidney function, and appropriate monitoring and management of patients with CKD. An individualized and patient-centred approach is currently recommended in guidelines, but would be enhanced by more detailed guidance on how this ...
