Black Race Coefficient in GFR Estimation and Prevalence of CKD-Related Complications

eGFR from serum creatinine–based equations informs diagnosis and staging of CKD. The guideline-recommended Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine-based equation includes age, sex, and race (Black versus non-Black) variables and increases the eGFR estimate by
