Background: There is increasing concern for the potential impact of health care algorithms
on racial and ethnic disparities. Purpose: To examine the evidence on how health care …

The EFLM recommends not to implement the race-free Chronic Kidney Disease
Epidemiology Consortium (CKD-EPI) equation in European laboratories and to keep the …

Background: In daily practice, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated with equations
including renal biomarkers. Among these biomarkers, serum creatinine remains the most …

Background. Whether the new chronic kidney disease-epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equation
without the race variable remains accurate enough for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) …

Objective Operative repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) is high risk, and
many patients will be unfit for intervention. Prior studies have noted lower rates of repair for …

Abstract The new European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) creatinine-based equation
has been developed to be applicable over the entire age range (from 2 to 100 years) without …

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 …

Abstract Introduction Clinical laboratories in British Columbia, Canada implemented the
CKD-EPI 2009 equation without the race variable for estimated glomerular filtration rate …

Rationale & Objective Recent studies evaluated and proposed new race-neutral, creatinine-
based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation equations. The performance of these …

Bundy and colleagues examined the predictive performance of estimated glomerular
filtration rate equations with and without the variable for Black race. The editorialist notes …
