Rationale for change
Per KDIGO 2024 guidelines, CKD is diagnosed based on 3+ months of reduced GFR <60 (i.e. GFR categories G3a–G5) OR evidence of renal damage (irrespective of GFR).
This is how we can have someone with CKD1 (GFR 90+) or CKD2 (GFR 60-89) even though their GFR is, of course, not lower than 60; these patients met criteria via evidence of renal damage.

- Individuals with a urine albumin:creatinine ratio > 30 mg/g (or equivalent) have a significantly increased risk for CKD progression compared with those who have a lower ACR
- Treatment goals: BP control < 130/80 + tight glucose control + diet with low Na+/K+ + Hb between 11-12 + monitoring Ca2+ and phosphate to avoid secondary hyperparathyroidism
