Abstract
The higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with global population aging1 has raised concern over the potential increase in demand for health care services, including specialist nephrology care. Albuminuria level, a marker of kidney damage, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a marker of kidney function, are routinely used to assess the severity of CKD.2,3 Both eGFR and albuminuria have been informative in constructing risk-stratification strategies to tailor CKD management and guide appropriate resource allocation, including expedited referral of patients at higher risk of CKD progression.3
