Progression of CKD toward ESRD is heterogeneous. The Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) was developed to identify CKD patients at high risk of ESRD. We aimed to externally validate KFRE and to test whether the addition of predefined Duplex ultrasound markers - renal resistive index (RRI) or difference of resistive indices in spleen and kidney (DI-RISK) - improved ESRD prediction.
