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, ...

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.

Earlier equations for kidney function were derived exclusively from White people and did not consider race. The finding of decreased accuracy in Black Americans later prompted researchers to introduce ...
