Consortia
The BIS is part of several consortia and shares its data within the framework of joint scientific projects.
- European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC)
The EKFC brings together European research groups in the field of kidney function evaluation. The goal is to answer questions pertaining to kidney function and its evaluation through regular exchange and merging of scientific data and to make this knowledge available to the public through publication. Furthermore, the EKFC aims to provide assistance with the implementation of these estimation methods in daily clinical practice. The BIS has largely contributed to the establishment of this consortium which is currently supported by the European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) and will start to work as a task force in 2022.
- International Network of Chronic Kidney Disease Cohort Studies (iNET CKD)
The International Network of Chronic Kidney Disease of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) is an international network of existing, independently funded Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) cohort studies. The compilation of data from cohort studies investigating CKD serves to facilitate the understanding of CKD progression and its consequences.
- CKD Prognosis Consortium (CKD-PC)
The Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium (CKD-PC) is a research group composed of scientists representing cohort studies from all over the world. The CKD-PC currently comprises over 80 cohorts which represent the general, high-risk, or CKD populations.
