It is more common in people with hypertension and diabetes, according to research, the risk is higher in people with hypertension and diabetes from 30 percent to 10 percent respectively.
Eye-kidneys share many structural, developmental, and organizational similarities, and several studies have revealed that eye tissue may mirror kidney disease.
It was found to be associated with a 10 percent risk of kidney failure in those with eye problems over an 11-year follow-up. In the UK, 35 thousand people were studied to find out about this.
In this study, retinal age gap (retinal-predicted age minus chronological age), a clinically validated, artificial intelligence-based aging biomarker based on retinal imaging, was associated with future risk of kidney failure in UK residents. This non-invasive, aging biomarker could help identify people at risk of kidney failure, the researchers said.
