The new equation paper is really difficult to summarize in a visual abstract, but Shimamura Yoshinosuke made an excellent effort

This week, we will discuss the hot off the press. On the quest to solve the disparity created by GFR calculations, we discuss the new equations. Is it time to drop the race coefficient, or is it time to drop serum creatinine entirely?

Creatinine to Cystatin C: Time to Change?

This week, we will discuss a paper from Nature Medicine. Cystatin C has been around for a while, but not taken off in routine practice. Is it time for it to do so? In this study, authors from Glasgow using the UKBiobank data show that cystatin C improves the prediction of bad outcomes.
