3 months

Question 3

What equation do we use to calculate GFR? 2021 CKD Epi

Someone w/CKD has persistent elevated ______________or reduced eGFR in the presence of albuminuria for at least 3 months

Answer 4

serum creatinine

Question 5

There’s also different markers of kidney damage so in additon to albuminuria you could have presence of structural abnormalities so maybe you have scar tissue due to damage of diabetes or different sediment abnormalities

Question 6

Any patient with a kidney transplant will always have chronic kidney disease

Question 7

Patient with a GFR of less than __________ indicates chronic kidney disease and plus or minus a marker of kidney damage present for greater than 3 months

Answer 7

less than 60

Question 8

At earlier stages of CKD patients won’t have symptoms but at later stage disease there are more symptoms

patient had a transplant or pt has high protein levels so something else is going on in the body thatis indicating that albuminuria level is increased so you could have stage G2A3 in the pt, so their kidney function in the GFR may not have dropped but the presence of albuminuria is what ends up placing them into classification for chronic kidney disease
