This study found that the recent change to remove race from the calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may incorrectly label potential donors who are Black as having chronic kidney ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The eGFR equation that includes creatinine and cystatin C but not the race coefficient may be preferable to the ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Newer eGFR calculations that do not consider race show a link between kidney function and dementia. Equations ...

The most recent eGFR equation, known as the CKD-EPI equation, was developed using data pooled from 26 studies, which included almost 3,000 patients who self-identified as Black. Researchers found the ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...

A systematic review found that alternative approaches to calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were worth looking into to properly account for diversity in populations. A review ...

A new equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, shows improved accuracy and precision compared with commonly used equations. The European Kidney Function ...
