Abstract
For application to general populations, estimating equations for glomerular filtration rate should be developed and validated in diverse populations, including a wide range of age, race-ethnicity, and clinical conditions. This issue includes reports on the development of new equations by 2 research groups to improve glomerular filtration rate estimation in children and young adults. Both equations performed better than guideline-recommended equations, but both require further evaluation of generalizability, and neither fulfills the goal of development in a diverse population.
