At Northern Nephrology, we partner closely with primary care providers to identify and manage chronic kidney disease early, with a focus on slowing progression, optimizing cardiovascular and metabolic health, and preparing patients for the future when needed. We encourage providers to use the form below to calculate your patient’s 5-year Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) score to help determine whether a nephrology referral may be appropriate. Patients with elevated KFRE risk scores may benefit from earlier nephrology evaluation, multidisciplinary CKD management, and individualized treatment planning.
Use this form to assess your patient's kidney failure risk and help decide on the need for nephrology referral. Enter de-identified patient data below to calculate their KFRE score.
