Reclassification of patients’ CKD stage when moving from a single test to the second of two eGFR measuresa

a
Percentages are presented across rows representing those reclassified after the second measure for each stage of CKD, and separately for MDRD and CKD-EPI.
b
Numbers of patients for whom the CKD stage did not change.
c
One patient was Stage 4 at the first test and stage 3B (100%) after the second test. ACR = albumin:creatinine ratio. CKD = chronic kidney disease. CKD-EPI = Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration. eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate. MDRD = Modification of Diet in Renal Disease.
