Description
Atthaphong Phongphithakchai and colleagues test an international kidney risk tool in Thai patients, in a 2026 validation study. Their cohort held 133 adults with biopsy-proven IgA nephropathy at a tertiary centre, followed for a median of 3.4 years of care.
The tool predicts a halving of filtration rate or progression to end-stage kidney disease, and 45 patients reached that endpoint during follow-up. Both versions of the model, with and without a race term, sorted patients well and split kidney survival clearly across risk groups. Fit to observed outcomes looked broadly sound, though ranges around the estimates were wide. The authors support using the tool for risk talks in Thai practice.
