National trends in the association of race and ethnicity with predialysis nephrology care in the United States From 2005 to 2015.
Predialysis nephrology care is associated with better survival among patients with end-stage kidney disease. The purpose of this study was to examine national trends in racial/ethnic disparities in receipt of predialysis nephrology care at least 1 year before dialysis initiation in the United States from 2005 to 2015. The study findings suggested that national strategies to address racial/ethnic disparities in predialysis nephrology care are needed.
