Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations are widely used, but their accuracy is limited by the need for race-ethnicity factors and imprecision of the estimated GFR. In this issue, Bukabau et al. evaluated the accuracy of GFR estimating equations and race-ethnicity factors in 2 centers in sub-Saharan Africa. The authors determined that the African American factor is not applicable and that newer equations are not more accurate than the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equations recommended by current guidelines.
肾小球滤过率（GFR）估计方程被广泛应用，但由于需要种族因素和估计 GFR 的不精确性，其准确性受到限制。在本期杂志中，Bukabau 等人评估了 GFR 估计方程和种族因素在撒哈拉以南非洲两个中心的准确性。作者确定，非裔美国人因素不适用，并且新的方程并不比当前指南推荐的慢性肾脏病流行病学合作方程更准确。
