Table 5.
No progressive renal injury | eGFR < 60 ml*min−1*1.73 m−2 and/or medication for proteinuria/hypertension | |
---|---|---|
Blood pressure | Once yearly | 2–4/year |
Albuminuria | Once yearly | 2–4/year |
Serum creatinine/GFR | Every 5 years | 2–4/year |
24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurement is preferred in children and adults
Albuminuria may be estimated through the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and should be determined in a first fresh morning sample (normal value <30 mg/g)
GFR can be estimated using the commonly used Schwartz formula (see Materials and methods)
Last ultrasound to be performed at 15–16 years of age
eGFR estimated glomerular filtration rate
