African Americans and Mexican Americans suffer from disproportionately high rates of end-stage renal disease in comparison with whites from the United States. An improved understanding of both classic and novel chronic kidney disease risk factors among racial/ethnic minorities may help to facilitate improved prevention, screening, and early intervention strategies for all patients at risk for chronic kidney disease-not only in the United States, but on a global level. The economic implications are equally important to inform health policy recommendations and ensure cost-effective allocation of limited resources.
与美国白人相比，非裔美国人和墨西哥裔美国人终末期肾病的发病率高得不成比例。更好地了解种族/族裔少数群体中经典和新型慢性肾病风险因素，可能有助于推动改善针对所有慢性肾病风险患者的预防、筛查和早期干预策略——不仅在美国，而且在全球范围内。其经济影响对于为卫生政策建议提供信息以及确保有限资源的成本效益分配同样重要。
