What the engine reports

Detected clinical pattern

CKD Criteria Met — Classification Incomplete

Chronicity is documented, but the A category (UACR) is missing, so risk classification is incomplete.

  • Chronicity: Chronicity confirmed (≥3 months)
  • Complication: anemia in ckd context

Clinical summary

CKD criteria met on documented chronicity (); classification is incomplete without UACR. Physician adjudication required.

Patterns for physician adjudication

Evidence shown, not scored: pattern weights are not clinically validated.

Possible anemia of CKD context

Supporting

  • Hemoglobin 10.8 g/dL
  • Confirmed CKD G3b

Contradicting or missing

  • Iron studies and other causes not yet evaluated
  • MCV 89 fL

Recommended next steps

For physician consideration. Urgent review always comes first.

  1. 1Evaluate anemia with CBC, reticulocytes, ferritin and TSAT; a renal cause is not assigned before other causes are excluded.

Missing information

  • UACR (required for the A category and risk assessment).
  • UACR (required for the A category, risk assessment and a complete classification).

Why it matters

The result is placed in context so the physician can see what is established, what is provisional and what is missing.

The same engine, starting from this case. Change any value and watch the pattern and the rule trace react.
