National implementation of a race-neutral eGFR equation contributed to more modifications and higher kidney transplantation rates for Black candidates, according to study data published in the Journal ...

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 new equation appears more accurate than the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI equation, according to investigators. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) has developed a new race- and sex-free ...

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 ...

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 ...
