ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a national public health problem. In the United States, diabetes, hypertension, and glomerular disease are the leading causes of end stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, Blacks/African Ameri cans are four times more likely than Whites/Caucasians to develop CKD. The progression of CKD and ESKD are examples of health disparities among the races. Address ing the social determinants of health is essential in improving the overall health of Blacks/African Americans and reducing longstanding inequities in health.
