Mashup Score: 3Disparities in Kidney Transplant Waitlisting Among Young Patients Without Medical Comorbidities - 13 day(s) ago
Research over the last several decades has described disparities in access to kidney transplantation by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), gender, and geographic region, revealing substantial inequities across all steps in the transplant process.
