*** THIS APP IS FOR PHYSICIANS ONLY, IF YOU ARE NOT A PHYSICIAN, PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS APP *** Chronic Kidney Disease Management Support is designed with the aim to assist healthcare professionals in providing quality treatment for patients with diabetic nephropathy. It is intended to be an easy-to-use, practical clinical decision support tool for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. It is stressed that it cannot replace the clinical judgement of a healthcare professional. We ask you carefully to make sure you have selected the right options so that the calculator uses the formulas you intend/need to use for your patient's clinical situation. The eGFR is calculated by the abbreviated MDRD equation. The eGFR is only applicable to stable patients. Part of the renal managemenet plan is taken from The Renal Association, UK guidelines and the K/DOQI guidelines.
