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

The first equation to easily calculate eGFR (without the extra step of collecting and analyzing patients’ urine), was developed through a 1999 study with 1,628 participants.

The race-free, creatinine-based equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in 2021 and gaining traction as the default tool for assessing kidney function in ...

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.

The recently introduced and endorsed equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that foregoes adjustment for self-identified Black individuals worked as well as the race-adjusted ...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is used to determine kidney function and to stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), is traditionally calculated with a mathematical formula that accounts for an ...
