Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is diagnosed when glomerular filtration rate (GFR) falls below 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or urinary albumin: creatinine ratio (UACR) reaches ≥ 30 mg/g, as these two thresholds indicate a higher risk of adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular mortality. CKD is classified into mild, moderate or severe, based on GFR and UACR values, and the latter two convey a high or very high cardiovascular risk, respectively.
