This indicator covers establishing and maintaining a register of all patients who have had an episode of AKI. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM152
This indicator covers the percentage of patients on the CKD register and currently treated with an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) or an ACE inhibitor (unless these are contraindicated) who are also treated with an SGLT-2 inhibitor if they have: no type 2 diabetes and an eGFR 20 ml/min/1.73 m2 to 44 ml/min/1.73 m2, or no type 2 diabetes and an eGFR 45 ml/min/1.73 m2 to 59 ml/min/1.73 m2 and a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) of 22.6 mg/mmol or more, or type 2 diabetes and a urine ACR 3 mg/mmol or more. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes
This indicator covers the percentage of patients on the CKD register and with an albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) of 70 mg/mmol or more, without diabetes, who are currently treated with an ARB or an ACE inhibitor. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM247
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with a new diagnosis of CKD stage G3a-G5 (on the register, within the preceding 12 months) who had eGFR and ACR (urine albumin to creatinine ratio) measurements recorded within 90 days before or after diagnosis. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM216
Kidney conditions: CKD and lipid lowering therapies (IND231)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients with CKD, on the register, who are currently treated with a lipid-lowering therapy. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM213
Kidney conditions: CKD and renin–angiotensin system antagonists (IND130)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients on the chronic kidney disease (CKD) register who have hypertension and proteinuria and who are currently being treated with an angiotensin-receptor blocker or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM84
This guideline covers routine preoperative tests for people aged over 16 who are having elective surgery. It aims to reduce unnecessary testing by advising which tests to offer people before minor, intermediate and major or complex surgery, taking into account specific comorbidities (cardiovascular, renal and respiratory conditions and diabetes and obesity). It does not cover pregnant women or people having cardiothoracic procedures or neurosurgery.
Evidence-based recommendations on point-of-care creatinine devices to assess kidney function before CT imaging with intravenous contrast. The tests are ABL800 FLEX, i-STAT Alinity and StatSensor, ABL90 FLEX PLUS, Dri chem NX500, epoc Blood Analysis System, and Piccolo Xpress.
NICE has developed a medtech innovation briefing (MIB) on PromarkerD for predicting the risk of diabetic kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes .
Tolvaptan for treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (TA358)
Evidence-based recommendations on tolvaptan (Jinarc) for treating autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in adults.
Kidney conditions: CKD and blood pressure when ACR 70 or more (IND264)
This indicator covers the percentage of patients on the CKD register and with an albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) of 70 mg/mmol or more, without moderate or severe frailty, in whom the last blood pressure reading (measured in the preceding 12 months) is less than 125/75 mmHg if using ambulatory or home monitoring, or less than 130/80 mmHg if monitored in clinic. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as NM248.
