A meta-analysis of data from 1.1 million adults from 25 general-population cohorts, seven high-risk cohorts (of vascular disease), and 13 CKD cohorts indicated that the Chronic Kidney Disease ...

Determining GFR by inulin clearance is not always practical; practitioners often rely on equation-estimated GFRs. A recent single-center, cross-sectional study evaluated the performance of 4 GFR ...

Removing the race coefficient from the CKD-EPI equation could avert a potential systematic delay in kidney transplant eligibility of a median 1.9 years for Black patients, according to investigators.

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Creatinine has been, is now, and will be for the foreseeable future our easiest way to monitor kidney function. However, the inadequacies and limitations of creatinine as such a marker are well ...
