Glomerular Filtration Rate
Management of CKD
All stages – to include
• Regular clinical and laboratory assessment (see table overleaf) • Advice on smoking, weight, exercise, salt & alcohol intake • Cardiovascular prophylaxis: if risk >20% at 10 years consider - aspirin if BP 100 mg/mmol - include ACEI or ARB if urine PCR >100 mg/mmol or - if diabetes and microalbuminuria present + check creatinine and potassium - before starting and - 2 weeks after start and - after each dose change + if creatinine increases by >20% or GFR falls by >15% - repeat with potassium and seek advice (?stop ? test for RAS) • If potassium > 6 mmol/L - check no haemolysis and check diet - stop NSAIDs and LoSalt - stop K - retaining diuretics - stop ACEI/ARB if hyperkalaemia persists

Introducing eGFR Promoting good CKD management
What is eGFR?
Glomerular filtration rate is the best measure of overall kidney function. It is normally around 100mL/min so the result roughly
