eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) is a measure of kidney function and is used to assess how well the kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. The equation for calculating eGFR for African-Americans includes a correction factor based on race because this population tends to have higher muscle mass and therefore higher creatinine levels, which can affect the accuracy of eGFR calculations if not accounted for.
