2021年9月23日 · The inclusion of race in equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has become controversial. Alternative equations that can be used to achieve similar accuracy without the...

Estimates GFR in CKD patients using creatinine and patient characteristics. IMPORTANT This calculator includes inputs based on race, which may or may not provide better estimates, so we have decided to make race optional.

2025年3月18日 · Changes have been made to the eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) calculation. Previously Black race was used in the eGFR calculation along with age, sex, and body type. However, in 2021, a task force led by the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) announced recommendations to remove Black race ...

Use the new eGFRcr-cys equation (estimated glomerular filtration rate equation that incorporates both serum creatinine and serum cystatin C levels) to estimate the GFR for both Black and non-Black individuals because the equation has improved accuracy, minimizes differences in eGFR between race groups, and more accurately reflects chronic kidney disease (CKD) prognosis while eliminating the ...

Recent eGFR equations developed in North American cohorts have utilized black race as a modifying variable. Here we review the historical basis and potential pitfalls of this practice.

2020年8月7日 · The guideline-recommended equation in adults (the 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation) includes a term for race (specified as black versus nonblack), which improves the accuracy of GFR estimation by accounting for differences in non-GFR determinants of serum creatinine by race in the study populations used ...

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is considered the best overall diagnostic for assessing kidney function. However, directly measuring GFR (mGFR) with exogenous glomerular filtration agents (e.g., inulin, iohexol, iothalamate) is complex and beyond the capabilities of …

Racialized adjustment of eGFR in Black Americans may thereby affect their clinical care. In this study, we analyze and extrapolate national data to assess potential impacts of the eGFR race adjustment on qualification for kidney disease diagnosis, nephrologist referral, and …

2021年1月6日 · Although many experts agree that we should reconsider the use of race in equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and in medicine more generally, 1,2 precisely how eGFR...

2022年10月13日 · Accurate creatinine-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is integral to the practice of medicine and evaluating kidney donor candidacy. Historically, estimation equations included a race coefficient.
