CKD Stage Reference — KDIGO 2023
Stage eGFR (mL/min/1.73m²) Description Monitoring
G1 ≥ 90 Normal or high — CKD only if other markers present Annual check if risk factors
G2 60–89 Mildly decreased Annual monitoring
G3a 45–59 Mild to moderately decreased Every 6 months
G3b 30–44 Moderately to severely decreased Every 3–6 months · Nephrology referral
G4 15–29 Severely decreased Every 1–3 months · Prepare for RRT
G5 < 15 Kidney failure Every 1–3 months · RRT discussion
About the CKD-EPI 2021 Equation

The CKD-EPI (Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration) 2021 equation is the current gold-standard for estimating GFR in adults. It replaced the 2009 version by removing the race coefficient — a change recommended by the National Kidney Foundation and the American Society of Nephrology.

Formula
eGFR = 142 × min(Scr/κ, 1)α × max(Scr/κ, 1)−1.200 × 0.9938Age × 1.012 [if female]
κ = 0.7 (female), 0.9 (male) · α = −0.241 (female), −0.302 (male)

The 2021 equation performs equivalently to the 2009 race-adjusted version across diverse populations and is now the standard at major US academic medical centres.
