Chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes in <scp>UK</scp> primary care: Testing frequency, coding accuracy and clinical inertia

The study emphasises the need for increased uACR testing and CKD coding in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients to ensure accurate monitoring and management. Fluctuating eGFR/ACR levels and process issues may contribute to clinical inertia. These findings specifically highlight gaps in CKD monitoring and diagnosis, particularly in younger patients and rural settings. We recommend healthcare professionals review coding practices and follow CKD guidelines to improve patient outcomes.
