If you follow the link under
Implementing this guidance
You will get to :

which will work out the “costings” for your area. I have some doubts about some of the assumptions and the final table which averages
costs of ACR and PCR.

Subject: Predicting demand for albumin:creatinine ratios
We have yet to implement the introduction of albumin:creatinine ratios (ACR)s for our primary care trust, although we do offer the
service for other users.
We are trying to work with our PCT to determine likely demand for the ACR in order to help with the finances, but are concerned that we are going to be 'double
counting' a number of patients if we just rely on the numbers of patients registered as having CKD and/or diabetes.
Are mailbase users aware of any models for predicting demand for ACR testing in the average DGH-type community?
Many thanks in advance
