    In those with unstable eGFR or acute changes in clinical condition, met orminshould be held.

    Record weight & BMI on each visit or comparison.

    Encourage patient to stop smoking, enquire at every visit, support when receptive.Measure at least yearly (more requently with advanced CKD): CBC. Mineral metabolism (calcium, phosphorus, iPTH).

    Nutrition pro le (albumin).

    Immunize annually.Immunize every 10 years.

    Immunization at a higher level o eGFR more likely to result in seroconversioni patient is being considered or hemodialysis. Screening and vaccination inconsultation with nephrology team. Reduce risk o acute or chronic deterioration o kidney unction.

    Adjust renally excreted drugs according to kidney unction.

    Depression and grie reaction may occur with chronic disease. Identi y and address psychosocial problems that a ect the illness.
