Comparison of 2-year risks for KFRT for Black and White transplant recipient candidates with varying demographic and clinical characteristics

Demographic and Clinical Characteristics
Age	60	60	60	60	60	60	60	60
Sex	Man	Man	Man	Man	Woman	Woman	Woman	Woman
GFR	20	20	20	20	20	20	20	20
ACR	500	500	1000	1000	500	500	1000	1000
DM	No	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes
2-yr risk for KFRT (%)^a
Blacks	48	52	54	58	39	43	45	49
Whites	39	44	45	49	31	35	36	40

Variables required were age, sex, GFR, albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR), race, systolic BP, weight, smoking status, and history of cardiovascular disease (CVD).⁸ Other clinical characteristics for this example were systolic BP 130 mm Hg, weight 80 kg, nonsmoker, and no history of CVD. ACR can be measured or estimated from protein-creatinine ratio using conversions.^9,10 DM, diabetes mellitus.

For people with GFR<30 ml/min per 1.73 m².
