Figure 2. Distribution of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by Racial/Ethnic Group.

Figure 2

This figure shows the distribution of eGFR, stratified by self-reported race and ethnicity. Racial and ethnic groups were in mutually exclusive categories: African American, Hispanic, and non-Hispanic white. Women self-identifying as Hispanic had a higher median eGFR (93.9 [IQR, 82.5–100.5] ml/min/1.73m2) compared to non-Hispanic whites (85.7 [IQR, 74.4–92.6] ml/min/1.73m2) and eGFR comparable to African American (93.7 [IQR, 79.3–107.5] ml/min/1.73m2) participants. The range for eGFR values was widest for the African American participants and most narrow for the non-Hispanic white participants. Abbreviations: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate (in mL/min/1.73m2).
