2022 CPIP-J Case 10: Chemistry – Removal of Race from Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Equations - CPIP1010W.2022
Untitled Document


Learn about the impact race-based medicine can have on medical decision-making, using the example of renal function assessment with eGFR. Current recommendations for implementing new eGFR equations without a race parameter, and potential laboratory management approaches and challenges related to implementing new equations, will be addressed.

Description
Race-based medicine, defined as altering medical care based on a patient’s race, contributes to healthcare disparities for people of color. A recent cultural focus on social justice issues has heightened calls to improve healthcare equity. This has led the nephrology community, in collaboration with laboratory medicine experts, to update guidelines to eliminate use of race in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations. This activity explores the impact of this change on laboratories and strategies for implementation of this change.

This clinical pathology activity is intended for pathologists.

Objectives
After completing this activity, you should be able to:

  1. Examine the context and consequences of race-based medicine.
  2. Describe the impact of race-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting.
  3. Explain current recommendations for the use of eGFR equations without a race parameter.
  4. Identify potential laboratory management approaches and challenges related to implementation of new eGFR equations.
