In patients with a new finding of reduced eGFR, repeat eGFR to exclude causes of acute deterioration of eGFR (e.g. acute kidney injury, or initiation of ACEi or ARB therapy).
Test ACR and Urinalysis.
In patients with a previous finding of an abnormal eGFR and ACR in the past 6 months, you do not have to re-test.
The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Clinical Pathway is a resource for primary care providers to aid in the diagnosis, medical management, and referral of adults with CKD.
