Core Faculty Affiliate Keisha Bentley-Edwards led a research team in examining the way CKD and kidney failure disproportionately affect marginalized racial and ethnic populations because of structured inequalities in new paper in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Dr. Bentley-Edwards and her research team identify a critical need for clinical trials to identify effective interventions and develop sustainable, evidence-based strategies that reduce kidney health disparities. To address these issues, the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and partner institutes convened a consortium to design and conduct clinical trials and build infrastructure for future clinical trials addressing structural racism and downstream social and biologic effects to promote kidney health equity.
