Changing clinical algorithms to remove race adjustment has been proposed and
implemented for multiple health conditions. Removing race adjustment from estimated …

Background: In 2021, an international taskforce of kidney experts recommended
implementation of a revised formula for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that …

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 …

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

Background: The use of race in calculating eGFR is under scrutiny as a possible contributor
to healthcare disparities in the US. Using the MHS electronic medical record, we evaluated …

Background: Elimination of the race coefficient from the CKD-EPI equation has been
proposed as an important step to improve healthcare disparities faced by Black persons with …

Background Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has become incorporated into
multiple clinical management situations. Historically, equations included a Black race …

Background: Assessing outcomes for racial subgroups can guide strategies to mitigate
health and healthcare inequalities. We assessed differences in clinical outcomes by Black …

Background: The inclusion of the race coefficient in eGFR estimates for patients identified as
Black has been widely debated. In response, our institution eliminated the race coefficient …

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 …
