In a theoretical context, the 2021 creatine-based Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation reduced racial differences in preemptive wait time accrual more than the use of the ...

This study found that the recent change to remove race from the calculation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) may incorrectly label potential donors who are Black as having chronic kidney ...

The new equation appears more accurate than the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI equation, according to investigators. The European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) has developed a new race- and sex-free ...

PenKid is a kidney function biomarker that correlates with gold standard GFR measurements in stable and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. Based on penKid, a new formula was developed to estimate the ...

Overestimates of kidney function in Black individuals could contribute to underdiagnosis of CKD and delays in care, an editorial noted. Among equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . The Organ Procurement and Transplant Network Board of Directors has unanimously voted to remove the race ...

The most commonly used formula to calculate eGFR in obese patients with type 2 diabetes underestimates the something, according to UK researchers. Researchers at the University of Liverpool recruited ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...

The Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation was developed to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from age, sex and race, and serum levels of creatinine, urea and albumin; a ...

The staging of chronic kidney disease requires measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). As direct GFR measurement is impractical, estimates are used. The MDRD equation was 'Hobson's choice' ...
