1/9🚨 Changing one formula could make 38% more people “have CKD” overnight.
That’s what happens if we replace the CKD-EPI equation with EKFC in a European health system.

Changing from the CKD-EPI to the EKFC creatinine equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in adults in a Northern European health system
AbstractBackground. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) 2021 equation to estimate GFR performs as well or better than the CKD-EPI 2009 equation

Could we improve kidney care by rethinking who gets referred to a nephrologist?
Our latest study in @ndt-era.bsky.social suggests: yes — if we base it on predicted risk rather than fixed eGFR/ACR cutoffs.

💡 Did you know?
Many individuals today are obese or underweight, yet the original cohorts used to develop eGFR equations barely included them.
In our new JASN @asnpublications.bsky.social paper, we ask:
How accurate is eGFR in people at BMI extremes—and does it affect treatment?

Creatinine ≠ Cystatin C.
Both estimate GFR—but what drives their discordance?
Our @ajkd.bsky.social editorial explores what we do and don’t know about the non-GFR factors behind it.
