The inclusion of race in eGFR calculations may lead to an overestimation of kidney function in Black individuals, potentially delaying necessary diagnosis and treatment for kidney disease. Recent ...
Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
Doctors use estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) scores to measure kidney functioning. African American people typically have higher eGFR scores than people of other ethnicities. People with ...
