Clinical characteristics and CKD care delivery in African American and American Indian or Alaska Native patients: A real-world cohort study.

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.
