About The Study: This retrospective cohort study of incident hemodialysis patients found that system-based disparities in pre-dialysis access to nephrology care contribute to approximately one-third of incident vascular access disparities among Hispanic individuals. Targeted system-based remedies and policies are needed to improve timely identification and nephrology referrals among Hispanic individuals, for equitable improvements in incident kidney failure outcomes.
