A New Panel-Estimated GFR, Including β2-Microglobulin and β-Trace Protein and Not Including Race, Developed in a Diverse Population

Lesley A. Inker et al.

Summary: The study suggests that GFR estimation using creatinine and cystatin C is more accurate but requires specification of race. Alternatively, using beta 2-microglobulin and beta-trace protein as filtration markers can reduce the influence of race and improve accuracy.

Long-Term Longitudinal Stability of Kidney Filtration Marker Measurements: Implications for Epidemiological Studies and Clinical Care

Amy B. Karger et al.

Summary: ARDL's continuous monitoring using a calibration panel demonstrated remarkable long-term stability of the filtration markers. The mean percentage difference from target values was less than 2% for all original markers, indicating accurate and stable measurement procedures over time.

The case for early identification and intervention of chronic kidney disease: conclusions from a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference

Michael G. Shlipak et al.

Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant global burden associated with higher morbidity and mortality, especially among individuals with lower socioeconomic status. Despite the availability of guidelines for evaluating and managing early CKD, there is still a lack of consensus on prioritizing early identification and intervention for CKD without incentives or quality measures.

Measurement and Estimation of GFR for Use in Clinical Practice: Core Curriculum 2021

Lesley A. Inker et al.

Summary: Assessment of GFR is crucial for clinical practice, public health, and research, as it helps in diagnosing and managing chronic kidney disease. While GFR estimates based on creatinine levels are commonly used and reasonably accurate, confirmatory tests may be needed for more precise evaluation. Various confirmatory tests, such as cystatin C-based equations or urinary clearance of exogenous markers, are available for a more accurate assessment of GFR.

A Unifying Approach for GFR Estimation: Recommendations of the NKF-ASN Task Force on Reassessing the Inclusion of Race in Diagnosing Kidney Disease

Cynthia Delgado et al.

Summary: A Task Force developed recommendations for reassessing inclusion of race in GFR estimation in the United States. The recommendations include immediate implementation of a creatinine equation refit without the race variable and increasing the use of cystatin C, as well as encouraging research on new filtration markers and interventions to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities.
