    • CRF Definitions
      • Normal GFR = 120ml/min
        CRF if 10% of normal or 20ml/min
        ESRD if < 5% normal or 10ml/min
      • GFR < 60ml/min for 3 months
      • CKD stages
        1. GFR >90ml/min with abnormalities in blood, urine or imaging to support diagnosis
        2. GFR 60-89ml/min with abnormalities in blood, urine or imaging to support diagnosis
        3. Moderate reduction in GFR 30-59ml/min
        4. Severe reduction in GFR 15-29ml/min
        5. Kidney failure GFR <15ml/min or dialysis

        • F - Failure: <0.3ml/kg/hr for 24 hrs (>75% ↓in GFR)
        • L - Loss: Loss in function for > 4/52
        • E - ESRF: >3/12 loss
