In July 2020, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) and the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) formed a joint task force to reassess the use of race in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. After multiple sessions with stakeholders, such as clinical laboratory scientists, epidemiologists, and ancestry experts, including open forums for patients and their families and clinicians, the NKF-ASN joint task force released a report in 2021 that made recommendations for an equitable approach for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation and outlined existing gaps in knowledge and research needs.
