Updated US Prevalence Estimates for Chronic Kidney Disease Stage and Complications Using the New Race-Free Equation to Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate

This cross-sectional study investigates US population changes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) G stage and 4 CKD-related complications, comparing the 2021 equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate with the 2009 equation, which included a race coefficient.

Automated summary

This cross-sectional study explores the changes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) severity and associated complications in the US population, using two equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from 2021 and 2009 respectively.
