Health Disparities in Nephrology

Center Director Ashwini Sehgal, MD and Andrew O'Connor, DO will moderate "Health Disparities in Nephrology" at the American Society of Nephrology meeting in San Francisco this weekend.

From the ASN's website:

Health disparities are differences in health-related outcomes by race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other relevant subgroups. Striking disparities occur in the onset and progression of CKD, in many dialysis-related outcomes, and in access to kidney transplantation. This symposium will describe disparities relevant to nephrology, discuss the mechanisms for the disparities, and review interventions to reduce or eliminate disparities.
