5 CKD is classified based on cause, GFR category, and albuminuria category (CGA) Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2,1 150

6 Prevalence in the United States Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2,1 150

7 Evaluation of GFR Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2, : We recommend using serum creatinine and a GFR estimating equation for initial assessment. (1A) : We suggest using additional tests (such as cystatin Cor a clearance measurement) for confirmatory testing in specific circumstances when egfr based on serum creatinine is less accurate. (2B) : We recommend that clinicians (1B): use a GFR estimating equation to derive GFR from serum creatinine (egfr creat ) rather than relying on the serum creatinine concentration alone. understand clinical settings in which egfr creat is less accurate.

8 Determinants of the serum level of endogenous filtration markers Stevens LA, Levey AS. J Am Soc Nephrol 20: , 2009

9 Evaluation of GFR Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2, : We recommend that clinical laboratories should (1B):(gekürzt) report egfr creat in adults using the 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation. An alternative creatinine-based GFR estimating equation is acceptable if it has been shown to improve accuracy of GFR estimates compared to the 2009 CKD-EPI creatinine equation. We suggest measuring cystatin Cin adults with egfr creat ml/min/1.73 m 2 who do not have markers of kidney damage if confirmation of CKD is required. (2C) If egfr cys /egfr creat-cys is also <60 ml/min/1.73 m 2, the diagnosis of CKD is confirmed. If egfr cys /egfr creat-cys is 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2, the diagnosis of CKD is not confirmed.

16 Estimating Equations for Glomerular Filtration Rate in the Era of Creatinine Standardization Earley et al. Ann Intern Med. 2012;156:

17 Evaluation of Albuminuria Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2, : We suggest using the following measurements for initialtesting of proteinuria (in descending order of preference, in all cases an early morning urine sample is preferred) (2B): 1) urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR); 2) urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR); 3) reagent strip urinalysis for total protein with automated reading; 4) reagent strip urinalysis for total protein with manual reading.

19 Factors affecting ACR Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2,1 150

20 Definition and Identification of CKD Progression Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2, : Recognize that small fluctuations in GFR are common and are not necessarily indicative of progression. (Not Graded) 2.1.3: Define CKD progression based on one of more of the following (Not Graded): Decline in GFR category ( 90[G1], [G2], [G3a], [G3b], [G4], <15 [G5] ml/min/1.73 m 2 ). A certain drop in egfr is defined as a drop in GFR category accompanied by a 25%or greater drop in egfr from baseline. Rapid progression is defined as a sustained decline in egfr of more than 5 ml/min/1.73 m 2 /yr. The confidence in assessing progression is increased with increasing number of serum creatinine measurements and duration of follow-up.

21 Assess GFR and albuminuria at least annually in people with CKD.Assess GFR and albuminuria more often for individuals at higher risk of progression, and/ or where measurement will impact therapeutic decisions Kidney International Supplements(2013) 2,1 150
