How often should urine albumin and eGFR be monitored in diabetic kidney disease if kidney function is normal?

Annually
Biannually
Monthly
Every two years

The correct answer is: Annually

In diabetic kidney disease, it is crucial to monitor urine albumin and eGFR regularly to prevent further damage. Option A is the most appropriate answer as it suggests annual monitoring, which is the recommended frequency by healthcare professionals. Option B (biannually) may not catch changes in kidney function quickly enough and option C (monthly) may be too frequent, causing unnecessary inconvenience to the patient. Option D (every two years) is too infrequent and may lead to missed opportunities to detect any deterioration in kidney function. Regular annual monitoring allows for early detection and intervention, which can help slow down the progression of diabetic kidney disease.
