Chronic Kidney Disease in Diabetes Mellitus - Decision Tool - Obsolete
Summary:  This decision tool assists with management of patients with diabetic nephropathy (diabetes mellitus-related chronic kidney disease, stages III, IV, and V).  It is not intended to manage CKD patients on dialysis.
Note:  Detection of kidney disease should prompt a workup to determine the cause.  A recommended initial evaluation includes Complete Metabolic Panel, Urinalysis, Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR), Uric Acid, Phosphate, Complete Blood Count, ANA screen, Rheumatoid Factor, C3, C4, Hepatitis B sAg, Hepatitis C Ab, dilated retinal exam, and renal Ultrasound; if patient is over 40 years & UACR is positive then Serum and Urine Protein Electrophoreses, as well.

Chronic Kidney Disease in Diabetes Mellitus - Decision Tool - Obsolete
Summary: This decision tool assists with management of patients with diabetic nephropathy (diabetes mellitus-related chronic kidney disease, stages III, IV, and V). It is not intended to manage CKD patients on dialysis.
Note: Detection of kidney disease should prompt a workup to determine the cause. A recommended initial evaluation includes Complete Metabolic Panel, Urinalysis, Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR), Uric Acid, Phosphate, Complete Blood Count, ANA screen, Rheumatoid Factor, C3, C4, Hepatitis B sAg, Hepatitis C Ab, dilated retinal exam, and renal Ultrasound; if patient is over 40 years & UACR is positive then Serum and Urine Protein Electrophoreses, as well.

Lab and objective findings:
1. Estimated GFR --> note: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min or kidney damage for ≥ 3 months (e.g. urine sediment, abnormal imaging, or albuminuria (Urine Albumin to Creatinine Ratio (UACR) < 30mg/g = nl, 30-300 = micro, >300 = macro))
2. Gender -->
3. Bicarbonate Level -->
4. Hemoglobin Level -->
5. Blood Pressure -->
6. Calcium Level -->
7. Phosphate Level -->
8. Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Level -->
9. 25(OH)D (Vitamin D) Level -->
