Impact of Removing the Race Coefficient in Renal Function Estimate Equations on Drug Dosage Recommendations.

Published in: The Annals of pharmacotherapy (2021)
This represents the first report to examine the removal of the race coefficient and its implication on drug dose discordance. GFR w/out Race had a higher level of agreement and less drug dose discordance than GFR w/Race, in comparison to CrCl estimates. If GFR equations are considered comparable to CrCl for the purposes of guiding drug dosing, GFR w/out Race should be considered.
