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.
