ABSTRACT
Black and Latinx individuals in the United States are afflicted disproportionately with kidney disease. Because of structural racism, social risk factors drive disparities in disease prevalence and result in worse outcomes among these patient groups. The impact of social and economic oppression is pervasive in physical and emotional aspects of health. In this review, we describe the history of race and ethnicity among black and Latinx individuals in the United States and discuss how these politicosocial constructs impact disparities in well-being and mental health. Lastly, we outline future research, clinical considerations, and policy considerations to eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in well-being among black and Latinx individuals with kidney disease.
