Doctors use estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) scores to measure kidney functioning. African American people typically have higher eGFR scores than people of other ethnicities. People with ...
Current equations for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that use serum creatinine or cystatin C incorporate age, sex, and race to estimate measured GFR. However, race in eGFR equations is a ...
The inclusion of race in eGFR calculations may lead to an overestimation of kidney function in Black individuals, potentially delaying necessary diagnosis and treatment for kidney disease. Recent ...
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations are common biomarkers in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They affect about 1 in 3 people with NSCLC. About 90% of EGFR mutations are EGFR 19 ...
