Effect of removing race from glomerular filtration rate-estimating ...

Removing race from the CKD-EPI equation will calculate a lower eGFR for Black patients and exclude more patients from receiving anticancer therapy.

Effect of removing race from glomerular filtration rate-estimating ...

We aimed to characterise the effect of removing race from the CKD-EPI equation on dosing and eligibility of anticancer drugs with kidney function cutoffs.

Effect of removing race from glomerular filtration rate-estimating ...

The study shows that removing the race term from GFR-estimating equations will calculate a lower estimated GFR for Black patients with cancer and will reduce ...

Removing Race from eGFR calculations: Implications for Urologic ...

African American race is considered in the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from age, sex, and serum creatinine. The CKD-EPI equation, introduced ...

Impact of Race-Free Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimations on CKD ...

The 2021 CKD-EPI removes Black race as a factor in calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We assessed its effect on CKD prevalence.

Impact of Removing Race Adjustment When Estimating GFR on ...

We recommend removal of the race adjustment in eGFR, given its basis in the incorrect belief in biological differences between races. It ...

The Effect of Race on Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate

A new equation using creatinine, age, sex, and omitting race underestimated GFR in Blacks and overestimated GFR in non-Blacks. Equations that ...

Impact of Race-Free Glomerular Filtration Rate Estimations on CKD ...

The 2021 CKD-EPI removes Black race as a factor in calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We assessed its effect on CKD prevalence.

Effect of race-free estimated glomerular filtration rate equations ...

On average, eGFR decreased around 10-13ml/min/1.73m2 with removal of the race coefficient (Table). 13-22%, 6-12%, and 2-3% more black patients would fall under ...

Removing Race from Estimates of Kidney Function

Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is one of the primary diagnostic methods for detecting and managing kidney diseases. The eGFR ...

Effects of Removing Race in the CKD-EPI Equation for Estimated ...

In a study reported in The Lancet Oncology, Casal et al showed that removing race as a factor in the Chronic Kidney Disease–Epidemiology ...

How will eliminating the race coefficient affect Black patients?

Laboratories have been using new (2021) equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Notably, the new equations differ from ...

Study supports removing race from estimate of kidney function

The researchers found that removal of race adjustment improved bias, accuracy and precision of eGFR equations for Black adults. Their report was ...

Removing the Racial Coefficient From Calculations of eGFR

“Our decision to remove this race coefficient in estimating GFR reflects both an analysis of published data and Mount Sinai's commitment to equity in the care ...

Effect of removing race correction factor in glomerular filtration rate ...

Removing the race correction in eGFR calculation has a positive effect of reducing the underestimation of the risk of AKI following PCI for Black patients.

Understanding race-neutral eGFR calculations - OPTN - HRSA

The estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR for short, measures how slowly or quickly kidneys remove a waste product called creatinine from the blood.

Impact of Removing the Race Coefficient in Renal Function Estimate ...

The appropriateness of including the race coefficient in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations in Black patients is debated, and the impact ...

Race, Genetic Ancestry, and Estimating Kidney Function in CKD

The estimation of GFR with the use of cystatin C generated similar results while eliminating the negative consequences of the current race-based ...

Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease Among Black Individuals in ...

The coefficient for Black race is an attempt to correct for non-GFR factors associated with serum creatinine concentration. Deleting the ...

Removing race from the CKD-EPI equation and its impact on ...

The 2021 CKD-EPI equation has larger bias compared with measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than the 2009 equation for non-Black ...
