How is the prognosis of CKD predicted?
The prognosis of Chronic kidney disease varies depending on the underlying cause, the level of GFR, the amount of albuminuria, and the presence of other comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes.
The contributions of each of these factors vary, depending on the outcome of interest.
For example, the development of ESKD is more dependent on the cause of Chronic kidney disease and GFR than on other factors.
