A 48-year-old patient referred to the nephrology department for an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 32 ml/min/1.72 mL/min/1.72 mL. Which of the following data would NOT suggest chronic kidney disease?

Small kidneys and hyperphosphatemia are features of chronic kidney disease (option 1 and 3 incorrect).
