Racial differences in completion of the living kidney donor evaluation process.
Racial disparities in living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) persist, but the most effective target to eliminate these disparities remains unknown. The researchers investigated delays during completion of the live donor evaluation process. They concluded that delays may be a manifestation of the transplant candidate's social network and recommended targeted efforts to optimize networks for identification of donor candidates in order to address LDKT disparities.

Association of race and ethnicity with live donor kidney transplantation in the United States from 1995 to 2014.
This study estimated changes over time in racial/ethnic disparities in live donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) in the United States, accounting for differences in death and deceased donor kidney transplantation. Among adult first-time kidney transplantation candidates in the United States who were added to the deceased donor kidney transplantation waiting list between 1995 and 2014, disparities in the receipt of live donor kidney transplantation increased from 1995-1999 to 2010-2014.
