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 …

ABSTRACT Background A new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration
equation without the race variable has been recently proposed (CKD-EPIAS). This equation …

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 Commonly used estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations include a
