Racial differences in the risk of kidney failure according to eGFR calculated with or without a race term

Vertical dotted lines show the difference in log hazard ratios between Black and non-Black participants for a given eGFR, which are smaller for 2021 eGFRcr(AS) than for the other equations. The hazard ratio is adjusted for age and sex and calculated versus the reference point (80 mL/min/1.73 m² in the non-Black population).

eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; eGFRcr: creatinine-based eGFR; AS: adjusted for age and sex; ASR: adjusted for age, sex, and race.
