What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

What it does not mean

The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

Kidney failure 5-year risk [Likelihood] by KFRE

Kidney failure 5Y risk

The five-year "treated kidney failure" risk as calculated by the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE), for patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3 to 5. "Treated kidney failure" is defined as kidney failure that is treated with either dialysis or kidney transplant. The KFRE includes the following variablespatient age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR). In this model, all variables are time-independent, in that the baseline measurement is used for all calculations. [PMID: 26757465]
