the GFR EST is a blood test used to estimate the glomerular filtration rate without performing a 24 hour urine for creatinine clearance. It is a calculation involving the patient's serum creatinine, age, and sex. If the patient is African American the equation is adjusted to account for an African American's greater muscle mass.
A Non- AA or non- African American would not require the adjustment.
