Single estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria measurement substantially overestimates prevalence of chronic kidney disease.

Single estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria measurement substantially overestimates prevalence of chronic kidney disease.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Guidelines require repeatedly diminished estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and/or albuminuria to diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD), and advise screening only in select populations. Many estimates of CKD prevalence have used single measurements. This longitudinal study...
