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.

🔬 Multicenter study across Spain validates the KFRE equation in patients with advanced CKD. The 4-variable version shows strong predictive value for dialysis progression, though recalibration is needed. 📊 #nephrology #CKD #KFRE

The KFRE equation, know it, use it, live it (I wrote this statement of my own free will and Nav didn't force me to)
New recommendation on using the KFRE 5 year risk in people with diabetes
MANDATORY KFRE REMINDER to everyone in the room to know what the #KFRE is, and that it is or will be on all the labs you look at, and that you need to use it. The rule of 5 over 5. If the risk is 5 or greater over 5 years it is time to talk to a nephrologist (yes Dr. Tangri was a co-author)
