Collection and usage attributes
Guide for use:	CODE 1 Kidney function stage 1 Use this code when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is greater than or equal to 90 (ml/min/1.73m²). CODE 2 Kidney function stage 2 Use this code when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is greater than or equal to 60 but less than 90 (ml/min/1.73m²). CODE 3a Kidney function stage 3a Use this code when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is greater than or equal to 45 but less than 60 (ml/min/1.73m²). CODE 3a Kidney function stage 3b Use this code when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is greater than or equal to 30 but less than 45 (ml/min/1.73m²). CODE 4 Kidney function stage 4 Use this code when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is greater than or equal to 15 but less than 30 (ml/min/1.73m²). CODE 5 Kidney function stage 5 Use this code when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is less than 15 (ml/min/1.73m²).
Comments:	The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of the amount of fluid that passes through the kidneys per unit time.
