Thank you for your understanding.
I was aware of the lab tests GFR and GFR AA but didn’t know how or why African American kidney functions were calculated differently. After reading the article you posted, I searched a bit more to find out the history of these labs.

It is unfortunate it took this long to investigate and attempt to rectify the situation. I say attempt because regardless of the current efforts many individuals and family members were gravely affected by not being identified as having kidney disease and treated sooner.
At least it is sounding like awareness of racial disparities in healthcare are becoming more recognized, yet how long will it take for all these changes to take into effect on a broad scale? Sadly, I doubt there will ever be total equality in healthcare within our society.
