The 2023 CKD Prognosis Consortium heat map established the current global standard for risk stratification based on eGFR and albuminuria categories.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become one of the world’s fastest-rising causes of death, yet it is still often detected too late to allow meaningful prevention.S1 The 2023 CKD Prognosis Consortium heat map, later adopted into the 2024 KDIGO CKD guideline, established the current global standard for risk stratification based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria categories.1,2 This static, cross-classification approach transformed clinical communication by enabling clear visualization of adverse outcomes across ten kidney and cardiovascular endpoints.
