New ABC Chronic Kidney Disease Classification International Journal of Nephrology and Kidney Failure. 2017; v.3 p.1 - 4

Since 2002, KDOQI and KDIGO groups have searched the best way to assess, define and classify Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) to facilitate their diagnosis and optimize treatment. Growing evidence in recent years has shown a strong link to albuminuric (proteinuric) diseases and High Blood Pressure (HBP), risk factors that when integrated in a single classification, offer us a new way to define and classify CKD, which in addition to showing us the severity of the disease also suggest a prognosis value according to the level of albuminuria (proteinuria) and HBP.
