Welcome to the KFRE Python Library Documentation!
Note
This documentation is for kfre stable version 0.1.12.
kfre is a Python library designed to estimate the risk of chronic kidney disease
(CKD) progression using the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) developed by
Tangri et al. It provides risk assessments over two distinct timelines:
2 years and 5 years. The library is tailored for healthcare professionals and
researchers, enabling precise CKD risk predictions based on patient data.
It supports predictions for both males and females and includes adjustments
for individuals from North American and non-North American regions.
