Question

A 61-year-old with CKD G2A3 (eGFR 78; UACR 450 mg/g) asks how CKD is defined. Which statement is correct?

Accepted Answer

CKD is kidney damage or eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m² for ≥3 months; albuminuria ≥30 mg/g indicates kidney damage

Answer

Albuminuria does not define CKD if eGFR is normal

Answer

CKD is defined by abnormal imaging only

Answer

Albuminuria must be ≥300 mg/g to define CKD
