Summary

New terminology for chronic renal insufficiency is proposed to improve clarity. This classification system for reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) stages aims to standardize communication among physicians and in research.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Renal Medicine
  • Clinical Epidemiology

Background:

  • Current terminology for reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) not requiring renal replacement therapy is poorly defined.
  • Popularized terms like "pre-ESRD" and "pre-dialysis" lack clear, unambiguous definitions.
  • This ambiguity hinders epidemiological studies and clinical trial comparisons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a standardized and unambiguous terminology for describing stages of chronic renal insufficiency.
  • To establish a clear classification system for reduced GFR not necessitating renal replacement therapy.
  • To facilitate better communication and data comparison in nephrology.

Main Methods:

  • The authors propose using the term "chronic renal insufficiency" for reduced GFR not requiring dialysis or transplantation.

  • A classification system is suggested based on GFR levels: mild (60-41 mL/min), moderate (40-21 mL/min), and advanced (≤20 mL/min).

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed classification provides distinct categories for mild, moderate, and advanced chronic renal insufficiency.
    • This framework allows for precise description of patient populations based on GFR.
    • Standardized terminology is expected to improve consistency in reporting.

    Conclusions:

    • Adopting the term "chronic renal insufficiency" with defined GFR categories will enhance clarity.
    • This standardized terminology will improve communication among healthcare professionals.
    • The proposed classification will provide a robust framework for comparing patient cohorts in research and clinical trials.
