Summary
This completed study looked at whether special outreach programs—using transplant social workers and coordinators—can help Black and non-Black patients with chronic kidney disease get kidney transplants earlier and more fairly. Over 1,100 adults took part. The goal was to see if these programs improve access to living donor kidney transplants compared to usual care.
