Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
Using race-neutral rather than race and ethnicity-specific reference equations to interpret pulmonary function tests (PFTs) increased the number of Black individuals considered to have respiratory ...
Because race is a social construct, not a physical characteristic, the race coefficient may not be needed to calculate eGFR. Removing the race coefficient could increase the number of black ...
