Core Tip	In 2002, the National Kidney Foundation established a novel chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging paradigm. In 2012, the authoritative United States Preventative Task Force questioned the validity of asymptomatic CKD screening. The American Society of Nephrology and the American College of Physicians have opposite recommendations regarding this controversy. We examined the evidence-base and limitations of CKD staging. Furthermore, we show clinical evidence of pitfalls of the current CKD staging model and the failings of current CKD prediction models. We called for more research into CKD to end stage renal disease translations including the impact of acute kidney injury on this continuum. CKD care and prognostication must be individualized.
