Prediction of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality using race and race-free estimated glomerular filtration rate in African Americans: the Jackson Heart Study
eGFR based on creatinine omit race has the lowest mean and detects more CKD patients in Black population. The eGFRs incorporating cystatin C strengthens the association between the eGFR and the risks of incident CVD and all-cause mortality. Cystatin C-based eGFR equations might be more appropriate for predicting CVD and mortality among Black population.
