Scope note: Afecciones en las que la función renal disminuye por debajo de la normalidad durante más de tres meses. La insuficiencia renal crónica se clasifica en cinco estadios en función de la disminución de la TASA DE FILTRACIÓN GLOMERULAR y el grado de lesión renal (medido por el grado de la PROTEINURIA). La forma más grave es la nefropatía terminal (FRACASO RENAL CRÓNICO). (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002)

Scope note: Conditions in which the KIDNEYS perform below the normal level for more than three months. Chronic kidney insufficiency is classified by five stages according to the decline in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and the degree of kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA). The most severe form is the end-stage renal disease (CHRONIC KIDNEY FAILURE). (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002)
