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 ...

The race-free, creatinine-based equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in 2021 and gaining traction as the default tool for assessing kidney function in ...

The recently introduced and endorsed equation for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that foregoes adjustment for self-identified Black individuals worked as well as the race-adjusted version ...

To assess kidney function and track chronic kidney disease, health care providers commonly use a measure called eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate). But the two predominant equations used in ...

A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) test is a simple blood test that measures how well the kidneys are functioning. A doctor may order a GFR test to gauge kidney health. The kidneys are a pair of ...

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a blood test to assess kidney function. The formula for calculating eGFR takes the patient’s body size, age, and sex into account to predict how well ...
