Best Practice for Screening Diabetics

Ua/c now the ADA medical standard

The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA), American Diabetes Association (ADA) and National Kidney Foundation (NKF) recommends an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin/creatine (Ua/c) ratio to evaluate kidney function in Diabetic patients. The urine microalbumin (Ualb) screening test is no longer considered best practice.
