PenKid is a kidney function biomarker that correlates with gold standard GFR measurements in stable and acute kidney injury (AKI) patients. Based on penKid, a new formula was developed to estimate the ...

Earlier equations for kidney function were derived exclusively from White people and did not consider race. The finding of decreased accuracy in Black Americans later prompted researchers to introduce ...
