The article discusses the effectiveness of the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) in predicting the likelihood of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The KFRE equation, which takes into account demographic and laboratory data, accurately predicts the risk of progression to ESKD. The study found that the KFRE equation has good accuracy and is strongly correlated with the risk of kidney failure. These findings suggest that the KFRE equation can be a useful tool in guiding treatment decisions and planning for kidney replacement therapy. [Extracted from the article]
