Abstract
This study evaluated performance of the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) equation in a US cohort, comparing population-specific (EKFCPS) with race-free (EKFCRF) Q values (median normal creatinine). Both EKFCPS and EKFCRF equations showed less bias than the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) 2021 equation. The percentage of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 30% of measured GFR was similar for CKD-EPI 2021 (79.2% [range, 78.5%-79.9%]) and EKFCRF (80.1% [range, 79.4%-80.7%]) equations but improved with the EKFCPS equation (81.1% [range, 80.5%-81.8%]), confirming utility of the EKFC equation in US populations.
