What UACR indicates high risk?

UACR >=300 mg/g (severely increased) indicates high CKD progression risk and cardiovascular risk. Combined with eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m2, it places patients in KDIGO high/very high risk categories.

How often should UACR be measured in CKD?

UACR monitoring frequency depends on KDIGO risk category: low risk annually, moderate risk twice yearly, high risk three times yearly per KDIGO 2022 guidelines.

Does first-morning urine vs random urine affect UACR accuracy?

First-morning void UACR is most reproducible. Random spot UACR is acceptable but may vary 30-50% day to day; confirmation with repeat testing is recommended.

UACR Albumin-Creatinine Ratio Risk Stratification

Stratify CKD progression risk using urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR): normal <30 mg/g, moderately increased 30-300 mg/g, severely increased >300 mg/g.
