Fig. 2

Proportion of Patients Receiving Nephrology Care Stratified by eGFR, Albuminuria, and Diabetes Status. The intensity of coloring (yellow, orange, red) represents the risk for CKD progression and kidney failure based on the KDIGO classification by eGFR and UACR; patients with missing UACR (gray colored boxes) are not assigned a risk level by KDIGO. The bold outline represents categories for which nephrology referral is guideline-recommended. Abbreviations: CKD = chronic kidney disease; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; KDIGO = Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes; UACR = urine albumin/creatinine ratio
