The eGFR × ACR category map

Risk generally increases as eGFR falls or albuminuria rises. The two results answer different questions and are more informative together.

eGFR categoryA1< 30 mg/gNormal to mildly increasedA230–299 mg/gModerately increasedA3≥ 300 mg/gSeverely increased

Read the map in three moves

  1. 01

    Find the G category

    Use the eGFR row. One result can shift temporarily, so trends and clinical context matter.

  2. 02

    Find the A category

    Use the urine ACR column and keep its reporting unit attached to the number.

  3. 03

    Discuss the intersection

    Take the category pair, the test dates and previous results to a clinician who knows your history.

Print this page, mark the two categories, and add the context that a color cannot hold.

  • Dates of both tests

  • Previous eGFR and urine ACR results

  • Recent illness, dehydration or medication changes

  • Blood pressure readings
