We assessed whether social determinants of health (<i>e.g</i>., demographics, cultural, psychosocial, knowledge factors) could account for race differences in receiving deceased- and living-donor kidney transplantation.<h4>Design, setting, participants, & measurements</h4><i>Via</i> medical record review, we prospectively followed 1056 patients referred for kidney transplant (2010-2012), who completed an interview soon after kidney transplant evaluation, until their kidney transplant. We used multivariable competing risk models to estimate the Clinical journal of the American Society of Nephrology : CJASNSocial Determinants of Health and Race Disparities in Kidney Transplant.PMC7863655R01DK081325DCI C-3924R01 DK081325UL1 TR001857Pleis JRKendall KWesselman HUnruh MLChang CHNg YHLi XDew MAMyaskovsky LCroswell EShapiro RLeyva YFord CGfalseSocial Determinants of Health and Race Disparities in Kidney Transplant.<h4>Background and objectives</h4>Black patients have a higher incidence of kidney failure but lower rate of deceased- and living-donor kidney transplantation compared with White patients, even after taking differences in comorbidities into account.
