Zusammenfassung:[...]an additional dimension has been added to the CKD staging system. Looking ahead, we predict a future when a more sophisticated classification emerges-perhaps underpinned by molecular diagnostics-in which cys- tatin C and other markers are used more widely to re- fine our measurement of GFR, other specific urinary markers are used to assess kidney damage, an accurate determination of cause completes a multidimensional picture of an individual CKD patient, and clinical lab- oratories may use routine tests to compute and report prognosis.
