Abstract
In 2020, the University of Washington (UW) removed the race coefficient (Black vs non-Black race) from the 2009 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (2009 CKD-EPIno race) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equation in a step toward acknowledging that race is a social and not a biologic construct. Recently, a new eGFR equation, the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (2021 CKD-EPI) equation, was published, in which the race variable was removed and the coefficients for the other variables (age, sex, and serum creatinine) were recalibrated.
