    Image: Retinal age gap is significantly associated with ESKD events and may be a promising non-invasive biomarker for ESKD events

    "Correlation between Retinal Age Gap and Risk of Renal Failure: A UK Biobank Study" Visual Abstract, by Shiran Zhang and Ruiye Chen, et al.
    , AJKD (2022)


    In 35,864 UK residents, each year increase in retinal age (as assessed by retinal microvascular changes) was associated with a 10%
    increased risk of developing renal failure at 11 years of follow-up.

    Given the high morbidity and mortality associated with renal failure, there is an urgent need to identify early predictive biomarkers of renal failure
    .
    Aging biomarkers have been associated with renal failure, but their clinical application has been challenging
    .
    The study, recently published in the American Journal of Nephrology (AJKD) in UK residents, states that retinal age gap (retinal predicted age minus chronological age) is a clinically validated and AI-driven biomarker of aging based on retinal imaging that is associated with
    the risk of future renal failure.
    This non-invasive and aging biomarker may hold promise in helping identify people
    at high risk of kidney failure.
