Changing from the CKD-EPI to the EKFC creatinine equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in adults in a Northern European health system
Abstract Background The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) 2021 equation to estimate GFR performs as well or better than the CKD-EPI 2009 equation in predominantly white adult European populations, with less bias and greater accuracy against measured GFR. This study explores how changing from the CKD-EPI to the EKFC equation in a large European health system may impact disease distribution, prognosis and clinical decisions.

Risk-based referral model to nephrologist-specialist care in Stockholm
Abstract Background For most patients, clinical management of early stages of CKD is performed in primary care settings. KDIGO 2024 guidelines recommended using a 5-year kidney failure risk equation (KFRE) of 3–5% to guide nephrologist referrals. Here, we aimed to assess the impact of adopting a risk-based referral model compared to traditional referral criteria.
