What the engine reports

Detected clinical pattern

Criteria for CKD Met — Classified

Chronicity is documented and the result is classified CKD G5A3. This is criteria-based status, not a probability.

Chronicity: Chronicity confirmed (≥3 months)
CGA: CKD G5A3

Clinical summary

CKD G5A3: criteria met on documented chronicity (eGFR 11.6 and UACR 420 mg/g). Priority: complete risk stratification, review etiology and kidney-protective management.

Why this pattern was identified

Estimated GFR. 11.6 mL/min/1.73 m² (eGFRcr 2021, race-free), category G5 (<15).
Albuminuria. UACR 420 mg/g, category A3 (>300 mg/g).
Persistence. Abnormal results are dated at least three months apart.
CKD criteria met. CKD G5A3 on documented chronicity. Criteria-based status, not a probability.

Calculations

eGFRcr (CKD-EPI 2021, race-free): 11.6 mL/min/1.73 m²
KFRE 2- and 5-year risk: Eligible — not computed

Recommended next steps

For physician consideration. Urgent review always comes first.

1Specialist kidney-care referral per triggered criterion: eGFR <30; Persistent A3 albuminuria.KDIGO 2024 referral criteria.
2Confirm complete risk stratification (CGA) and review etiology, blood pressure and kidney-protective management.
3Monitor eGFR and UACR longitudinally at an interval set by the CGA risk category.

Missing information

Cystatin C (optional; improves GFR accuracy near decision thresholds).
Urine sediment / microscopy (supports etiologic adjudication).

Why it matters

CKD with albuminuria and reduced GFR is associated with higher risks of kidney progression and cardiovascular disease, and the CGA category sets monitoring intensity.

Abnormal results are present on dated measurements separated by at least three months, supporting chronicity.
