Background Standard equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) employ race
multipliers, systematically inflating eGFR for Black patients. Such inflation is clinically …

Background The National Kidney Foundation and American Society of Nephrology Task
Force on Reassessing the Inclusion of Race in Diagnosing Kidney Disease recently …

Use of race adjustment in estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been challenged
given concerns that it may negatively impact the clinical care of Black patients, as it results in …

Purpose: In 2020, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Society of
Nephrology (ASN) convened a Task Force to recommend an evidence-based race-free …

For almost two decades, equations that use serum creatinine, age, sex, and race to eGFR
have included “race” as Black or non-Black. Given considerable evidence of disparities in …

Methods| We used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) characterizing a crosssectional sample of the noninstitutionalized US population …

Importance There is increasing concern that continued use of a glomerular filtration rate
(GFR) estimating equation adjusted for a single racial group could exacerbate chronic …

Background Advancing health equity entails reducing disparities in care. African-American
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have poorer outcomes, including dialysis access …

Background The implications of removing the adjustment for Black race in equations to
eGFR on the prevalence of CKD and management strategies are incompletely understood …

In the wake of the racial reckoning since the spring of 2020 in the United States, efforts have
emerged to identify hidden structural determinants of systemic racism in medicine. Such …
