Question

A 52-year-old with persistent albuminuria (UACR 220 mg/g) and eGFR 65 mL/min/1.73 m² on maximized ACE inhibitor asks about risk stratification. Which statement aligns with CKD staging?

Accepted Answer

A2 = 30-300 mg/g defines moderately increased albuminuria; higher albuminuria increases risk across all GFR categories

Answer

Albuminuria categories do not affect prognosis

Answer

A1 = 30-300 mg/g defines moderately increased albuminuria

Answer

Only GFR determines CKD risk

Answer

Albuminuria matters only if eGFR
