Filtering Race Out of GFR Calculation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: equation (estimated glomerular filtration rate equation that incorporates both serum creatinine and serum cystatin C levels) to estimate the GFR for both Black and non-Black individuals because the equation has improved accuracy, minimizes differences in eGFR between race groups, and more accurately reflects chronic kidney disease (CKD) prognosis while eliminating the use of race in GFR estimating equations.
