Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality and has high and increasing incidence worldwide.

Some eGFR equations contain a racial multiplier that increases the eGFR of black patients, causing a spurious increase in reported kidney function. This study included a literature search that collected information on the rationale behind the multipliers usage and a survey that gathered information …
