| Usage: |
KDIGO guideline, 2012 recommends Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) should be classified based on cause, GFR category, and albuminuria (ACR) category. GFR & ACR categories combined together reflect the risk of progression and help clinicians to identify individuals who are progressing at a more rapid rate than anticipated. It can be a guide to review current management, examine for the reversible cause of progression, and to determine frequency & duration of follow-up. Individuals who are ‘‘rapid progressors’’ should be targeted to slow their progression and associated adverse outcomes. |
