Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is adjusted for Black race in commonly used formulas. This has potential implications for access to simultaneous liver-kidney transplant (SLKT), as qualifying criteria rely on eGFR. We performed a retrospective study of United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) national transplant registry data between 2/28/2002 and 3/31/2019 to evaluate the proportion of Black patients who would be reclassified as meeting SLKT criteria (as defined per current policies) if race adjustment were removed from two prominent eGFR equations (MDRD-4 and CKD-EPI). Of the 7,937 Black patients listed for transplant during the study period, we found that 3.6% would have been reclassified as qualifying for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related SLKT with removal of race adjustment for MDRD-4, and 3.0% for CKD-EPI; this represented 23.7% and 18.7% increases in SLKT candidacy, respectively. Reclassification impacted women more than men (e.g. 4.5% vs. 3.0% by MDRD-4, p<0.05). In an exploratory analysis, patients meeting SLKT criteria by race unadjusted eGFR equations were significantly more likely to receive liver transplantation alone (LTA) as compared to SLKT. Approximately 2% of reclassified patients required kidney transplantation within one year of LTA, versus 0.3% of non-reclassified patients. In conclusion, race adjustment in eGFR equations may impact SLKT candidacy for 3–4% of Black patients listed for LTA overall. Approximately 2% of patients reclassified as meeting SLKT criteria require short-term post-LTA kidney transplantation. These data argue for developing novel algorithms for GFR estimation free of race to promote equity.
