The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a measure of kidney function. [6] Adding a race adjustment to kidney algorithms results in higher eGFR values in people identified as black. [7] [8] [9] Reasons for this vary, but it is thought to partially stem from the notion that Black persons are more muscular. [8]
A major measure of kidney function is the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The glomerular filtration rate is the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. The creatinine clearance rate (C Cr or CrCl) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a useful measure for approximating the GFR.
The normal range of GFR, adjusted for body surface area, is 100–130 average 125 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in men and 90–120 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) in women younger than the age of 40. In children, GFR measured by inulin clearance is 110 (mL/min)/(1.73 m 2) until 2 years of age in both sexes, and then it progressively decreases. After age 40, GFR ...
Our national health crisis has been especially dire for African-American women. Among Black women ages 20 and older, more than half have heart disease, according to the American Heart Association.
A review of all U.S. studies that considered race and ethnicity when reporting success rates for ART, found white women consistently had the highest success rates, followed by Hispanic and Asian women, and African American women. [206] An African American women does not receive the same treatment as a white women due to the age they were ...
A glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 is considered normal without chronic kidney disease if there is no kidney damage present. Kidney damage is defined signs of damage seen in blood, urine, or imaging studies which includes lab albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30. [ 59 ]
Madam C.J. Walker created a line of haircare products for African American women, leading her to later become the first female African American self-made millionaire. There is now a Netflix series ...
To clinically stage the degree of damage in this (and any) kidney disease, the serum creatinine is determined and used to calculate the estimated glomerular filtration rate . Normal eGFR is equal to or greater than 90ml/min/1.73 m 2. [34] On biopsy, the following classification has been suggested by Tervaert et al.: [35]
