A new equation for calculating a person's kidney function — their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) — worked as well with serum cystatin C as it did with serum creatinine as the biomarker.

Researchers have identified an approach to remove race from equations used to estimate a person’s kidney function. These equations have been criticized for potentially perpetuating racial health ...

Many organizations recommend the use of equations that estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to facilitate the detection, evaluation, and management of chronic kidney disease. 1–11 Indeed, ...

The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

A race-free revision of the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation for calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), introduced in September 2021, has rapidly ...

Excel can solve equations through several of its mathematical functions, but the single Excel tool that works on the largest variety of equations is the program's Solver Add-in. This tool reads an ...
