Estimated GFR in the Korean and US Asian Populations Using the 2021 Creatinine-Based GFR Estimating Equation Without Race.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

In 2021, the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) updated the creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equation and removed the coefficient for race. The development and validation of this equation involved binarizing race into African American and non-African American, involving few Asian participants. This study aimed to examine the difference between the 2021 equation and the previous 2009 equation on CKD prevalence estimates in 2 Asian populations.

Study design

Observational study using 2 national surveys.

Setting & participants

Participants from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey and participants self-reported as Asian from the 2011-2020 US National Health and Nutrition Survey.<
