    A novel predictive model for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) incorporates serum bilirubin levels and other clinical variables in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 20 candidate predictors for ESKD in a cohort of 4103 CKD patients, identifying serum bilirubin as a strong predictor.

  • 3

    The model demonstrated excellent predictive performance with a 2-year AUC of 0.943 and a 5-year AUC of 0.935 in a validation cohort of 2799.

  • 4

    Serum bilirubin levels are associated with oxidative stress and have been linked to the progression of CKD to ESKD.

  • 5

    The study emphasizes the importance of incorporating novel variables like serum bilirubin to enhance existing kidney failure risk equations.
