Impact of ‘Black Race’ Coefficient in eGFR on Our Community and Medical Education
Introduction: The use of race in estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) started a critical national conversation on numerous areas of medicine touched by racism; with a call for removal of race from calculation of eGFR. We scrutinized use of ‘Black race’ coefficient in MDRD eGFR calculation...
