New normative data and a web-based kidney calculator help doctors detect kidney disease early by comparing eGFR scores to age ...

For the past few years, experts have criticized — and defended — the use of race in calculating an important number for people with kidney disease: the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). As ...

The study covered in this summary was published in medRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. The authors evaluated the impact of removing race from the estimated glomerular ...

To diagnose kidney disease, physicians calculate estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR, as a measure of kidney function. Those calculations factor in a patient’s age, sex and levels of serum ...

In a study supported by the National Institutes of Health, researchers propose changing a key measure in kidney disease diagnosis and treatment to eliminate the use of race as a variable, providing a ...

A cross sectional study found that substantial discrepancies exist between individual estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and directly measured GFR (mGFR). Laboratory reports that provide eGFR ...
