What is the 2021 CKD-EPI race-neutral equation for calculating eGFR?

The 2021 CKD-EPI equation estimates glomerular filtration rate using serum creatinine, age, and biological sex without racial coefficients, endorsed globally by NKF and ASN.

What do the different stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) mean?

Stage 1 (eGFR >= 90 with kidney damage), Stage 2 (60-89 mild drop), Stage 3a (45-59 mild-moderate), Stage 3b (30-44 moderate-severe), Stage 4 (15-29 severe), Stage 5 (< 15 kidney failure).

Why was race removed from the eGFR kidney calculation in 2021?

The National Kidney Foundation removed race because race is a social construct, not a biological variable, eliminating systematic delays in diagnosis and kidney transplant eligibility.

Can a high serum creatinine level be temporarily caused by factors other than kidney disease?

Yes. Intense weight lifting, high red meat intake, creatine supplements, severe dehydration, and medications like trimethoprim can transiently elevate serum creatinine.

When should a patient in Khulna consult a nephrologist for declining eGFR?

If your eGFR falls below 60 mL/min/1.73m² on repeated tests, or if you have protein in urine with hypertension or diabetes, immediately consult a Khulna nephrologist.
