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 ...

To diagnose kidney disease, physicians calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR, as a measure of kidney function. Those calculations factor in a patient’s age, sex and levels of serum ...

Tracking changes in average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time — the eGFR slope — among people enrolled in cardiovascular outcome trials of new treatments is a potentially helpful ...

To assess kidney function and track chronic kidney disease, health care providers commonly use a measure called eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate). But the two predominant equations used in ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...

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 ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Calculations for eGFR were closer to measured GFR without adjustments for race, which suggested adjusting eGFR ...

Objectives: To assess the relationship between relative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) change and outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Study Design: This retrospective cohort ...

Retrospective analysis of 340 Black cancer patients enrolled in phase I clinical trials in the USA between 1995 and 2010 indicates that excluding race from the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology ...
