A nurse is caring for a client who has progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). Which of the following laboratory results would the nurse expect to find in the client's electronic health record?

A. GFR decreases as CKD progresses due to loss of nephron function. B. Urine albumin increases in CKD due to damage to the glomerular basement membrane, leading to albuminuria, a key marker of worsening kidney function. C. Proteinuria increases, not decreases, in CKD as the filtering ability of the kidneys declines. D. Creatinine increases as kidney function worsens and clearance decreases.
