Changing to the EKFC equation would impact clinical decisions at low eGFR thresholds, such as nephrology referrals (22% higher), eligibility for SGLT2 is (39% higher), or contraindication for spironolactone in heart failure (26% higher).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Adopting the EKFC equation in this Northern European health system would modestly lower eGFR estimates, increasing the prevalence of moderate/severe CKD and affecting clinical classification and decisions. This evidence concerns the gene SLC5A2 and chronic kidney disease.
