Abstract

BACKGROUND: Racially minoritized populations in the United States (US), notably African American (AA) and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN), experience disproportionately higher rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and hypertension compared to their White peers but are understudied. This real-world cohort study examines the standards of CKD care provided to these groups in two US health systems.
