10 yrs working with SCREAM today! Time to reflect on key findings and learnings. See review below and 🧵 SCREAM collects healthcare use of @regionstockholm since 2006, with a broad range of routine laboratory tests for those with creatinine or albuminuria @karolinskainst

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. 👉 Our @NDTsocial paper https://t.co/eb6fooBSo6

🧵1/9 Could we improve kidney care by rethinking who gets referred to a nephrologist? Our latest study from the SCREAM cohort suggests: yes — if we base it on predicted risk rather than fixed eGFR/ACR cutoffs. 📄 Caldinelli et al, 2025, @NDTsocial 🔗 https://t.co/xVcR8LEnhn

1/6 💡 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_News 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 @AJKDonline editorial with @ASLtufts and @jjcarrero1 dissects what we do and don’t know about the non-GFR factors behind it. 📖Read: https://t.co/mVdsC8JhvW
