Association between pre-heart transplant kidney function and post-transplant outcomes in Black and White adults

Background It remains unknown whether estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the refit Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation without a term for race is associated with mortality and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) differentially between Black a...

Description
Summary:Background It remains unknown whether estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the refit Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation without a term for race is associated with mortality and the need for kidney replacement therapy (KRT) differentially between Black and White heart transplant recipients. Methods We studied 25,900 adults included in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We classified recipients into six categories of eGFR (
