Impact of creatinine methodology on glomerular filtration rate estimation in diabetes

Table 1 Kidney Disease Improving Global Guidelines-2012 Prognostic Categories of Chronic Kidney Disease according to estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria (adapted from the Reference 2)

		Albuminuria categories [albumin/creatinine (mg/mmol)]
		A1	A2	A3
		< 3	3-30	≥ 30
		Normal to mildly increased	Moderately increased	Severely increased
eGFR categories (mL/min per 1.73 m2)	G1, ≥ 90	Low risk	Moderately increased risk	High risk
	Normal/high
	G2, 60-90	Low risk	Moderately increased risk	High risk
	Mildly decreased
	G3a, 45-59	Moderately increased risk	High risk	Very high risk
	Mildly to moderately decreased
	G3b, 30-44	High risk	Very high risk	Very high risk
	Moderately to severely decreased
	G4, 15-29	Very high risk	Very high risk	Very high risk
	Severely decreased
	G5, < 15	Very high risk	Very high risk	Very high risk
	Kidney failure
