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 ...

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 . The Organ Procurement and Transplant Network Board of Directors has unanimously voted to remove the race ...

In a theoretical context, the 2021 creatine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation reduced racial differences in preemptive wait time accrual more than the use of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 version ...
