1Possible indications for urology consultation: isolated or gross hematuria, renal masses or complex cysts, symptomatic or obstructing nephrolithiasis, hydronephrosis or bladder abnormalities, urinary symptoms.
Possible indications for nephrology consultation: eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, decline in eGFR > 5 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year, non-DM with heavy proteinuria or hematuria, unclear cause of CKD, complications of CKD (anemia, acidosis, hyperphosphatemia, hyperparathyroidism, electrolyte abnormalities), DM with heavy proteinuria or hematuria, management of nephrolithiasis, ADPKD.
2Use serum creatinine-based eGFR for initial assessment. If eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, consider one time serum cystatin C-based eGFR to confirm diagnosis and refine staging of CKD.
1Metformin: Reduce dose once eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2. Discontinue if eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 or HD initiation.
2SGLT2-I: Do not start if eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Discontinue with HD initiation.
