New Creatinine- and Cystatin C–Based Equations to Estimate GFR without Race

Lesley A. Inker, Nwamaka D. Eneanya, Josef Coresh, Hocine Tighiouart et al.

Short summary

New equations estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) have been developed using creatinine and cystatin C levels, omitting race as a factor. These new equations demonstrate improved accuracy and reduced disparities between Black and non-Black individuals compared to existing race-inclusive formulas.
