When eGFR was calculated using creatinine and cystatin C and without adjusting for race, adults with eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 had greater risk for dementia, but not for stroke, than those ...

It performed as well, or better, than three established eGFR equations, including the 2021 race-free equation now widely used in US practice.

Estimating equations like the MDRD equation play an important role in CKD diagnosis and treatment. “The CKD-EPI equation has lower bias, especially at higher estimated GFR,” Dr. Levey explained.

Compared with the MDRD Study equation, the CKD-EPI equation reclassified 24.4% of general-population participants, 15.4% of high-risk patients, and 6.6% of CKD patients to a higher eGFR category ...

A new race-free eGFR equation designed specifically for evaluating organ recipients post-transplant offers a more accurate measurement, a researcher said at the American Transplant Congress. Marc ...
