Correct answer: E — At least once per year

KDIGO 2024 uses the GFR-ACR heat map to guide monitoring frequency. CKD G3aA1 is classified as moderately increased risk, requiring monitoring at least once per year. Higher risk categories require more frequent monitoring (2-4 times/year for high/very high risk). Annual monitoring is appropriate for stable, low-risk CKD to detect any change in trajectory.
