EKFC were formed in 2010.
16 years later they're 3rd in League 1.
Can EKFC win the Scottish Premiership in another 16 years in 2042?

Good win for #EastKilbride FC beating East Fife 0-3.
Moves EK FC up to 3rd in league behind 1st place Ross County & 2nd place Hamilton.

Which equation and which biomarker should be used in the KFRE? A comparative analysis in the CKD-REIN cohort academic.oup.com/ckj/article/...
EKFC vs CKD-EPI? Creatinine vs Cystatin C?
Turns out it barely impacts KFRE kidney failure predictions!
Great work @antoinelanot.bsky.social & CKD-REIN!

Free Editorial from my colleague and friend Etienne Cavalier
In clinical chemistry, huge progress has been made to standardize serum creatinine measurement...but it can be fully useful only if estimating GFR is also standardized

#EastKilbride FC get hammered by #RossCounty 4-0.
Last week EKFC got hammered 3-0 away to #Montrose.
Next they play #Hamilton at home who are top of league.
Only ~2 miles separates suburbs of EK from Hamilton.
Should be a cracker. After 2 terrible results EKFC need to win to stay in title race.

#EastKilbride FC are on #BBCAlba the noo playing #RossCounty in Dingwall
The wonder of the #BBC ...

Creatinine, cystatin C or both to estimate glomerular filtration rate in kidney transplant recipients? academic.oup.com/ndt/article-...

Added value of EKFC to estimate GFR...also in transplanted patients!

Wonders how many of the local EKFC fans will be out of their comfort zone with having to travel further afield for away games. Lanarkshire has this weird bubble like no one leaves like it's The Truman Show. I at least live outside the bubble.

#EastKilbride has a low capacity stadium, only 700 & this will grow in time.
EKFC has the potential to become a top Premiership team with the resources of club & population of EK.
( 5th biggest place in #Scotland)

9 Fourteen games so far in Scottish League One. Average 844. Ross County 2,389 & East Kilbride 502 the high and low. League Two (fifteen games) average 856. Dumbarton 1,033 & Annan Athletic 318 the high and low. Dumbarton are the only club so far to record a four-figure crowd

Not all kidney function estimating equations work the same
(also, curious distribution of the EKFC eGFR in this paper)

Changing from the CKD-EPI to the EKFC creatinine equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate in adults in a Northern European health system
ABSTRACTBackground. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) 2021 equation to estimate GFR performs as well or better than the CKD-EPI 2009 equation

Clinical impact if EKFC adopted
· +22% nephrology referrals
· +39% eligible for SGLT2 inhibitors
· +26% more heart failure patients with spironolactone contraindication
· More dose adjustments for anticoagulants & diabetes medications

6/9
Counter-intuitively, people reclassified to a lower eGFR by EKFC had lower KFRT risk — likely because EKFC lowers eGFR more in older adults with stable, age-related decline rather than progressive disease, plus differences in equation modeling and calibration.

4/9
Main finding – eGFR shift
Median eGFR was 4.9 mL/min/1.73m² lower with EKFC.
➡️ CKD G3–G5 prevalence rose from 4.5% → 6.2% (+38%).
11% of people moved to a lower CKD category; <1% moved to a higher category.

📍 Setting: Stockholm, Sweden (2006–21)
👥 1,784,831 adults with serum creatinine in routine care
🔍 Aim: Compare CKD-EPI vs EKFC for:
· Reclassification across GFR categories
· Risk prediction for health outcomes
· Potential changes in referrals & drug eligibility
August 12, 2025 at 1:36 PM
2/9 Background:
· eGFR guides diagnosis & staging of CKD.
· CKD-EPI 2009 is the most widely used equation in Europe.
· EKFC 2021 was designed for broader accuracy, especially in European populations.
· But… what would a real-world switch actually do?

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.

New CRAN package egfr with initial version 1.1.1
#rstats
https://cran.r-project.org/package=egfr
CRAN: Package egfr
A comprehensive, vectorised toolkit for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and creatinine clearance from serum creatinine, cystatin C, or both. Implements adult, paediatric, and neonatal equations, including the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations (2009, 2012, 2021), the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation, Cockcroft-Gault, the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equations, the Full Age Spectrum (FAS) equations, the Lund-Malmoe equations, the Berlin Initiative Study (BIS) equations, the Schwartz bedside equation, the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children Under 25 (CKiD U25) equations, the Caucasian, Asian, Paediatric, and Adult (CAPA) cystatin C equation, and a neonatal equation. Helpers for body surface area, chronic kidney disease (CKD) staging following the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline, and unit conversions are included. Methods are described in Levey et al. (2009) &lt;<a href="https://doi.org/10.7326%2F0003-4819-150-9-200905050-00006" target="_top">doi:10.7326/0003-4819-150-9-200905050-00006</a>&gt;, Inker et al.

Took me 60+ years to realize that "Dancing Ivories" (the Soupy Sales theme, especially the black-and-white era treatment) is a "Sweet Georgia Brown" variant.

Forgot to tell my bsky family that my fantastic niece got captain for her football team EKFC U14s (i think) for this season! Buzzing for her ❤️

Also buzzing that i’ve no hangover but one thing i’m not buzzing about is this game!!

Have a belter whatever you are up to today 🍀💚

Right lets go EKFC Girls 🤞🏼😊

Anyone got girls that would love to play football ⚽️
EKFC would love for you to get in touch 😊
My niece plays for them and absolutely loves it. Best bunch of girls!
Reposts would be appreciated 🫶🏻
