  • Risk groups:

  • 1=eGFR [15–30) (regardless of proteinuria).

  • 2=eGFR [30–45) with UACR ≥30.

  • 3=eGFR [45–60) with UACR ≥300.

  • Data are from calendar year 2015 and include SBP, DBP and HbA1c.

  • CKD, chronic kidney disease; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HbA1c, glycosylated haemoglobin; SBP, systolic blood pressure; UACR, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio; VA, veterans affairs.
