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 ...

Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR), a new race-free version of the creatinine-cystatin C GFR equation most closely approximates measured GFR, investigators reported on ...

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 ...

BOSTON -- Some equations used to calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may alter chemotherapy dosing in cancer patients, a prospective study indicated. Nearly 300 adults beginning ...

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 ...

Even Correctly-Administered NSAIDS Can Cause AKI in Kids A combined creatinine-cystatin C equation has improved performance and accuracy for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR). (HealthDay ...

Annual health checkups regularly include urine tests that serve several purposes, including checking for symptoms of kidney disease. The presence of albumin in the urine is one indicator as is ...

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 ...
