Kidney Failure Risk Evaluation has a 4 point assessment and an 8 point assessment based on the country of residence that includes age, sex, eGFR and albumin/creatinine ratio (for 4 point) plus serum Ca, Phos, Hg and blood pressure (for 8 point) which helps to predict the 5yr, 2yr and 1 yr chances of progressing into ESRD, meaning the need for dialysis or kidney transplant. For children and Adults published by a Canadian Group in JAMA. There is a calculator available for that. Could you kindly incorporate that into your program for our (nephrologist’s) daily use in patient care. Thank you
