Investigation of end-stage kidney disease risk prediction in an ethnically diverse cohort of people with type 2 diabetes: use of kidney failure risk equation.

Although derived for predicting KF, KFRE also demonstrated good discrimination for ESKD outcome. Further studies are needed to identify variables/biomarkers that may improve KFRE's performance/calibration and to aid the development of other predictive models to enable early identification of people at risk of advanced stages of CKD prior to onset of KF.
