Which statement best describes the purpose of the KDOQI chronic kidney disease staging system?

- It focuses solely on determining eligibility for renal transplantation procedures.
- It classifies kidney disease only by presence of albuminuria in urine.
- It is used exclusively for pediatric patients with acute kidney injury.
- It replaces the need for laboratory testing in kidney function assessment.
In the case of Bob, which combination of findings supported a diagnosis of stage 1 CKD using KDOQI criteria?
- Preserved kidney function (eGFR ≥ 90) with persistent albuminuria and abnormal renal ultrasound showing structural damage
- eGFR less than 30 mL/min with normal urinalysis results and normal renal ultrasound findings
- Normal eGFR with single episode of microscopic hematuria and completely normal imaging studies
- eGFR between 30 and 59 mL/min with no evidence of albumin detected in urine
- eGFR greater than 90 mL/min without any laboratory abnormalities or imaging findings
