Published: January 2025

Use the new eGFR equation (estimated glomerular filtration rate equation that incorporates both serum creatinine and serum cystatin C levels) to estimate the GFR for both Black and non-Black individuals because the equation has improved accuracy, minimizes differences in eGFR between race groups, and more accurately reflects chronic kidney disease (CKD) prognosis while eliminating the use of race in GFR estimating equations.
