- In chronic kidney disease (CKD), anemia and disordered iron homeostasis are prevalent and associated with significant adverse consequences. In 2012, Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) issued an anemia guideline for managing the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of anemia in CKD. Since then, new data have accrued from basic research, epidemiological studies, and randomized trials that warrant a re-examination of previous recommendations. Therefore, in 2019, KDIGO decided to convene two Controversies Conferences to review the latest evidence, explore new and ongoing controversies, assess change implications for the current KDIGO anemia guideline, and propose a research agenda. The first conference, described here, focused mainly on iron-related issues, including the contribution of disordered iron homeostasis to the anemia of CKD, diagnostic challenges, available and emerging iron therapies, treatment targets, and patient outcomes. The second conference will discuss issues more specifically related to erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, including epoetins and hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs). Here we provide a concise overview of the consensus points and controversies resulting from the first conference and prioritize key questions which need to be answered by future research.

- The CKD-EPI creatinine-based estimation equation for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be used in children, overestimates GFR in young adults, and its combination with the KDIGO recommended pediatric CKiD (Schwartz bedside) equation causes implausible increases in estimated GFR when switching from pediatric to adult care. By establishing sex-specific creatinine growth curves for children and young adults, creatinine levels of children and young adults below age 40 years were adjusted with 40 as assigned age and applied in the CKD-EPI equation. Validation was performed in 4005 children (2–17 years) and 3309 young adults (18–39 years) using metrics based on bias, precision, and accuracy including percentage of estimates within 30% (P30) of measured GFR (mGFR). Comparisons were made with the CKiD and Schwartz-Lyon equations in children. CKD-EPI with age-adjusted creatinine instead of actual age and creatinine led to extensive improvements in bias, precision, and accuracy at all ages, in both sexes and at all levels of mGFR. At mGFR below and above 75 mL/min/1.73m2, the P30 increased from 12% to 75% and 33% to 88% in children, respectively, and from 56% to 73% and 83% to 92% in young adults, respectively. In children adjusted CKD-EPI was more accurate than CKiD, especially above mGFR 75 mL/min/1.73m2 (P30 88% vs. 82%), while Schwartz-Lyon was more accurate than adjusted CKD-EPI at mGFR below 75 mL/min/1.73m2 (P30 81% vs. 75%). Thus, the proposed strategy based on age-adjusted creatinine in children and young adults makes the CKD-EPI equation applicable across the full spectrum of age and kidney function.

- Estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is important in daily practice to assess kidney function and adapting the best clinical care of patients with and without chronic kidney disease. The new creatinine-based European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation is used to estimate GFR. This equation was developed and validated mainly in European individuals and based on a rescaled creatinine, with the rescaling factor (Q-value) defined as the median normal value of serum creatinine in a given population. The validation was limited in Non-Black Americans and absent in Black Americans. Here, our cross-sectional analysis included 12,854 participants from nine studies encompassing large numbers of both non-Black and Black Americans with measured GFR by clearance of an exogenous marker (reference method), serum creatinine, age, sex, and self-reported race available. Two strategies were considered with population-specific Q-values in Black and non-Black men and women (EKFCPS) or a race-free Q-value (EKFCRF). In the whole population, only the EKFCPS equation showed no statistical median bias (0.14, 95% confidence interval [-0.07; 0.35] mL/min/1.73m2), and the bias for the EKFCRF (0.74, [0.51; 0.94] mL/min/1.73m2) was closer to zero than that for the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI2021) equation (1.22, [0.99; 1.47]) mL/min/1.73m2]. The percentage of estimated GFR within 30% of measured GFR was similar for CKD-EPI2021 (79.2% [78.5%; 79.9%]) and EKFCRF (80.1% [79.4%; 80.7%]), but improved for the EKFCPS equation (81.1% [80.5%; 81.8%]). Thus, our EKFC equations can be used to estimate GFR in the United States incorporating either self-reported race or unknown race at the patient's discretion per hospital registration records.
