Page History

CKD displays stages of CKD (indicated or diagnosed) as well as likelihood of the indication based on the extracted pathology
results.

• Indicated Staging of CKD
• Color code for the Clinical Action Plan to manage CKD

Patients on dialysis are displayed as 'level 5' CKD.

For this report CAT will ignore any diagnosis of Kidney disease and the displayed indicated stages are purely based on the
eGFR and ACR results in the patient record.

Colour codes and their meaning:

Red
•Clinical Action Plan to be monitored 1-3 monthly

Orange
•Clinical Action Plan to be monitored 3-6 monthly

Yellow
•Clinical Action Plan to be monitored 12 monthly

For more information refer to Kidney Health Australia web site and the CKD Guideline Booklet available at www.kidney.org.au
Detection of CKD requires follow up testing once an abnormal result is recorded. The outcome of 3 tests over a 3 month
period will inform a diagnosis. CAT4 is only using the most recent eGFR and ACR, not the last 3 results. This will
•inform a diagnosis if 3 tests have been done or
•flag that a patient should be recalled for follow up testing if there are not 3 results in the Patient Record.
