A meta-analysis of data from 1.1 million adults from 25 general-population cohorts, seven high-risk cohorts (of vascular disease), and 13 CKD cohorts indicated that the Chronic Kidney Disease ...

Determining GFR by inulin clearance is not always practical; practitioners often rely on equation-estimated GFRs. A recent single-center, cross-sectional study evaluated the performance of 4 GFR ...

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 ...

A systematic review found that alternative approaches to calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were worth looking into to properly account for diversity in populations. A review ...

Barriers to donation may explain why living donor kidney transplantation has been declining. If direct measurements of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cannot be obtained, the CKD-EPI and FAS ...

Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...

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 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 comparison of radiographic and morphometric characteristics and outcomes in T3a pathologically upstaged and non-upstaged renal cell carcinoma. Equation performance for predicted new baseline ...
