Intended Audience
This clinical pathology activity is intended for pathologists.


Description
Learn about the impact race-based medicine can have on medical decision-making, using the example of renal function assessment with eGFR. Current recommendations for implementing new eGFR equations without a race parameter, and potential laboratory management approaches and challenges related to implementing new equations, will be addressed.

Objectives
After completing this activity, you should be able to:

  1. Examine the context and consequences of race-based medicine.
  2. Describe the impact of race-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting.
  3. Explain current recommendations for the use of eGFR equations without a race parameter.
  4. Identify potential laboratory management approaches and challenges related to implementation of new eGFR equations.
