Review of the Kidney Failure Risk Calculator (KFRE)

Key takeaways

This is a review article about the Kidney Failure Risk Equation, a calculator doctors use to estimate the chance that someone's kidneys will fail in the next two or five years. It uses age, sex, kidney filtering rate (eGFR) and the amount of protein in the urine. The paper discusses how the tool works and where it is useful, rather than reporting a new study. There are no new results here.
