The race coefficient now used in calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in US patients who self-identify as Black will soon change, says a task force established to examine the issue.
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 ...
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 ...
At 6 a.m. three days a week, Gloria James spends the first four hours of her day at the Northwest Detroit Dialysis Lahser Satellite clinic. The 70-year-old Detroit native gets two needles — both ...
How would eliminating race-based adjustments in estimates of kidney function impact clinical trials?
In an analysis of data from a recent clinical trial, researchers found that removing a race-based adjustment in the estimation of individuals’ kidney function had a small but potentially important ...
For the past few years, experts have criticized — and defended — the use of race in calculating an important number for people with kidney disease: the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). As ...
