Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

A new calculator for cardiovascular risk prediction developed from a large cohort of primary care patients in New Zealand suggests that risk equations based on earlier cohorts—now decades old—may ...

Many organizations recommend the use of equations that estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to facilitate the detection, evaluation, and management of chronic kidney disease. 1–11 Indeed, ...
