Background
• The adverse outcomes of Chronic Kidney Disease, such as
kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and premature death,
can be prevented or delayed
NKF K/DQI GUIDELINES
GFR
Stage Description
(mL/min/1.73m2)
NKF K/DQI GUIDELINES
4 Severe GFR 15 – 29
< 15
5 Kidney Failure
(or dialysis)
Why develop a new classification ?
• Currently, there is no uniform classification of stages of chronic kidney
disease
• Uniform definitions of terms and stages would improve communication
between patients and providers, enhance public education, and promote
NKF K/DQI GUIDELINES
Albuminuria :
Diabetes duration 10 – 15
years, retinopathy, HBP
3–4 Decreased GFR HBP, retinopathy, CVD, other
diabetic complications
5 Kidney Failure Retinopathy, CVD, other
diabetic complications, uremia
HBP = High Blood Pressure, CVD = Cardiovascular Disease

Estimation of GFR
Estimates of GFR are the best overall indices of the level of
kidney fiunction
The level of GFR should be estimated from prediction equations that take
into account the serum creatinine concentration and some or all of the
following variables : age, gender, race, and body size. The following
NKF K/DQI GUIDELINES
equations.
A 24-hour urine sample provides useful information for :
• Estimation of GFR in individuals with excretory dietary
intake (vegetarian diet, creatine supplements) or muscle
mass (amputation, malnutrition, muscle wasting ;
• Assessment of diet and nutritional status ;
• Need to start dialysis
Cockcroft-Gault Equation :
