What are the clinical and laboratory predictors of ESRD in the general population?
Male gender, proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and high serum creatinine are strong predictors of developing End-Stage Renal Disease.
Predictors of ESRD were identified using independent registries of both ESRD patients and the general population in Okinawa, Japan. Besides male gender, we found that the significant predictors of ESRD to be proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension, especially diastolic BP. Among the laboratory findings, a high serum creatinine level was shown to be a strong predictor of ESRD. The effects of age, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia were insignificant, but this needs to be confirmed in a larger cohort and other registries.

Kunitoshi Iseki (2003) conducted an observational in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Risk factors (male gender, proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, high serum creatinine) was evaluated on ESRD.
