The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

Reductions in measured GFR after bariatric surgery were positively correlated with baseline measured GFR before surgery, ...

In a theoretical context, the 2021 creatine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation reduced racial differences in preemptive wait time accrual more than the use of the ...

After completion of the MDRD study, the investigators received funding from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the Health Care Financing Administration to conduct ...

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 ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

For years, Nichole Jefferson battled a series of health problems as she juggled a stressful job in the tech industry while raising her daughter. Then, in 2003, she wasn’t feeling well and went to a ...
