(using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI)
creatinine equation)
- UACR above or equal to 200 mg/g and eGFR above or equal to 60

- Evidence of ASCVD by one or more of the following:
a) Coronary heart disease defined as at least one of the following:
i. Documented history of MI
ii. Prior coronary revascularisation procedure
iii. greater than or equal to 50% stenosis in major epicardial coronary
artery documented by cardiac catheterisation or CT coronary
angiography
b) Cerebrovascular disease defined as at least one of the following:
i. Prior stroke of atherosclerotic origin
ii. Prior carotid artery revascularisation procedure
iii. greater than or equal to 50% stenosis in carotid artery documented
by X-ray angiography, MR angiography, CT angiography or Doppler
ultrasound.
c) Symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) defined as at least one
of the following:
i. Intermittent claudication with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) below or
equal to 0.90 at rest
ii. Intermittent claudication with a greater than or equal to 50%
stenosis in peripheral artery (excluding carotid) documented by X-ray
angiography, MR angiography, CT angiography or Doppler ultrasound
iii. Prior peripheral artery (excluding carotid) revascularisation
procedure
iv. Lower extremity amputation at or above ankle due to atherosclerotic
disease (excluding e.g. trauma or osteomyelitis).
