APL-Renal

How it works 

Practices run a single search in their clinical system and import the results into the tool to: 

List all adults with key indicators of CKD and filter the list into cohorts to take action

• Identify patients for follow-up for overdue measures
• Export a list of patients to send appointment messages, or key information to send with a referral
• Improve CKD coding for accurate disease registers

Review critical falls in eGFR or uncontrolled blood pressure

Tailor their approach

• See eGFR trend over time, urine ACR and medications for each patient

Practices using the East London Community Renal Service can incorporate the tool into their processes for this. (APL-Renal replaces CEG’s former ‘Falling eGFR trigger tool’).

How to access

APL-Renal is only available to GP practice teams in the North East London NHS region. If you have not yet downloaded this tool, or need support using it, please contact your local CEG facilitator.
