The text highlights the importance of using eGFR and albuminuria for a common definition and staging of chronic kidney disease across all age groups.
Based on the finding that estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria were associated with mortality and treated end-stage renal disease in younger and older adults, Dr Hallan and colleagues1 concluded that there should be �a common definition and staging of CKD [chronic kidney disease] based on eGFR and albuminuria for all age groups.�
