One kidney-function report: turn an abnormal value into visit questions
Real sources · Illustrative request · Sample version
Customer question
Illustrative situation: a screening report gives eGFR 55 mL/min/1.73m², without earlier records or urine albumin results.
What is recorded, and what cannot be concluded from this report?
One abnormal result does not confirm chronicity. Take the result, missing information and questions to the clinician together.
Report, evidence and visit questions
| Check / stage | Chart content |
|---|---|
| Current eGFR | 55 is a fictional report value; source page to be linked |
| Earlier trend | Not supplied; do not assume a persistent abnormality |
| Urine ACR | Not supplied; missing does not mean normal |
| Chronicity | KDIGO cautions against assuming chronicity from a single abnormal result |
The report value is entirely fictional. This shows how missingness is labelled. Explanation references KDIGO 2024 Practice Point 1.1.3.2.
