Association of socioeconomic status and comorbidities with racial disparities during kidney transplant evaluation

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology May 13, 2020

Murphy KA, Jackson JW, Purnell TS, et al. - Given that even after surpassing many obstacles, black patients referred for kidney transplantation continue to face racial disparities before transplant, researchers here investigated the contributions of socioeconomic status (SES) and comorbidities as mediators to disparities in listing and transplant. In the studied cohort (n = 1,452 black; n = 1,561 white) of patients with kidney failure who were referred for and started the transplant process (2009–2018), 876 (60%) black and 1,028 (66%) white patients were waitlisted within the first year. SES and comorbidity were identified to partially mediate racial disparities in listing but not for transplant.
