AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISEvaluation  of  chronic  kidney  disease  (CKD)  includes  a  thorough  medical  history,  physical  exam,  and  specific  laboratory  measures.Symptoms  related  to  CKD  may  not  occur  until  disease  is  advanced  and  include  sleep  disturbance,  decreased  attentiveness,  nausea,  vomiting,  weight  change,  dyspnea,  lower  extremity  edema,  fatigue,  muscle  cramps,  peripheral  neuropathy,  and  pruritus.Reduced  estimated  glomerular  filtration  rate  (eGFR)  (<60  mL/min/1.73  m2)  should  be  interpreted  in  the  context  of  the  medical  history  and  other  lab  abnormalities  (eg,  history  of  diabetic  retinopathy,  rate  of  eGFR  decline,  presence  of  elevated  albumin-to-creatinine  ratio)  before  a  diagnosis  of  CKD  is  made.
