Key points in management of adults with SCN

Annual ACR and protein/creatinine ratio 
Patients with SCN are more likely to develop AKI during intercurrent illnesses 
Avoid NSAIDs in patients with SCN 
Further investigation if protein/creatinine ratio > 50 mg/mmol or eGFR < 60 mL/min 
ACEi/ARB if persistent proteinuria (>50 mg/mmol) 
Consider HU if proteinuria and/or CKD 
Meticulous blood pressure control (<130/80 mmHg) 
Consider ESAs and HU if anemia is worsening 
Consider early renal transplantation in ESRF
