Abstract

Institutionalized racism can be seen in many areas of society, including medicine. Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to be associated with kidney disease progression as well as increased incidence of chronic kidney disease, progression to end stage renal disease, inadequate dialysis treatment and reduced access to kidney transplantation and poor health outcomes. This research sought to determine if racial disparities exist in receiving timely treatment for end stage kidney disease, specifically, if ethnicity affects the waitlist time of kidney transplants in the United States
