The best overall measure of kidney function is glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as commonly
estimated from serum creatinine concentrations (eGFR cr) using formulas that correct for the …

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been commonly used as a measure of
kidney function in clinical practice and research. The widely used CKD-EPI creatinine …

Estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from serum creatinine is common in medicine.
The 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease–Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation uses …

For over two decades, serum creatinine concentrations have been used to estimate
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for routine chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening and …

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 …

Recognizing that race is a social and not a biological construct, healthcare professionals
and the public have called for removal of race in clinical algorithms. In response, the …

Assessment of GFR is central to clinical practice, research, and public health. Current
Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines recommend measurement of serum …

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 …

Background In response to a national call for re-evaluation of the use of race in clinical
algorithms, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Society of Nephrology …
