Despite ongoing progress, structural racism and health disparities continue to shape health care practices in ways health care providers may not even realize. A recent study in JAMA Network Open, ...
Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
The current guideline-recommended creatinine-based eGFR equation incorporates a race coefficient that may overestimate eGFR in Black adults and contribute to discordant care. Among equations for ...

“I can’t breathe” became a rallying cry against racism in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd and Eric Garner at the hands of the police. But chokeholds are far from the main cause of race-based ...
The lung age equations developed by the Japanese Respiratory Society encounter several problems when being applied in a clinical setting. The participants had undergone medical check-ups at the Center ...
A new equation for calculating a person's kidney function — their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) — worked as well with serum cystatin C as it did with serum creatinine as the biomarker.
