Frequent office visits of patients with chronic kidney disease: Is a prelude to prevention of dialysis

Figure 1 Serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate from patient 1 are depicted from 2008-2013. Note slow but progressive increase in creatinine (Cr) and decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Figure 2 Elevated but essentially unchanged serum creatinin around 2. 5 mg/dL yearly from 2008-2013, while estimated glomerular filtration ratevaried between 25 and 35 mL/min throughout the period from 2008-2013. Cr: Creatinine; GFR: Glomerular filtration rate.
