The 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration Race-Free Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Equations in Kidney Disease: Leading the Way in Ending Disparities.
Keyerra CharlesMary Jane LewisElizabeth MontgomeryMorgan ReidPublished in: Health equity (2024)
Adoption of the race-free 2021 CKD-EPI eGFR equations will have life changing implications for kidney health. It will aid in appropriate referral, identification, diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney disease and transplantation services/options. The outcomes of widespread implementation of the new equations coupled with system change quality improvement interventions such as the kidney profile will lead to more equitable outcomes and begin to address the crippling disparities in early, appropriate testing for CKD.
