eGFR - Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (Non-African Am)
What does it mean if your eGFR - Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (Non-African Am) result is too low? If your eGFR number is low, your kidneys may not be working as well as they should. People with a lower eGFR are at increased risk of having chronic kidney disease (CKD) progress to kidney failure.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) - National Kidney Foundation
2022年7月13日 · eGFR is a blood test that estimates how well your kidneys filter waste and extra water. Learn about the types, purpose, risks, and results of eGFR, and how it relates to chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) - Cleveland Clinic
Why are there different eGFR numbers for Black and non-Black people? Your test report may show two eGFR numbers, one for Black people and one for those who are not Black. People of African ancestry have a higher eGFR. They produce more creatinine and have more muscle mass than non-Black people.
eGFR Test Change: Removal of Race from the Calculation
2023年8月16日 · Learn how the eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) calculation has changed to remove race as a factor and what it means for kidney disease diagnosis and treatment. Find out why race is a social concept and not a biological one, and what other tests are available to measure kidney function.
Understanding your lab values and other CKD health numbers
2020年8月4日 · Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is an estimate of how well your kidneys are removing waste products from the blood. It is calculated using your serum (blood) creatinine level, age, and sex.
MDRD GFR Equation - MDCalc
Calculate glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients using creatinine and patient characteristics. This calculator includes optional race input and relies on a standardized creatinine assay.
Understanding race-neutral eGFR calculations - OPTN
2022年6月27日 · Hospitals are required to use eGFR formulas without a Black race variable, effective July 27, 2022. What does using a race variable mean for patients?
eGFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate) Test + How To Improve
2021年1月20日 · eGFR is a measure of how well your kidneys are working. It is often reported automatically when you do a creatinine blood test, as a part of your comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP). Read on to learn more about this marker, what it means when your values are outside of the normal range, and how you can increase your eGFR levels. What is eGFR? GFR
Kidney Disease, Race, and GFR Estimation - LWW
The guideline-recommended equation in adults (the 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation) includes a term for race (specified as black versus nonblack), which improves the accuracy of GFR estimation by accounting for differences in non-GFR determinants of serum creatinine by race in the study populations used ...
New Creatinine- and Cystatin C–Based Equations to Estimate GFR without ...
2021年9月23日 · In the validation data set, the current creatinine equation that uses age, sex, and race overestimated measured GFR in Blacks (median, 3.7 ml per minute per 1.73 m 2 of body-surface area; 95%...
