Access to Kidney Transplantation in Minority Populations
Running, not enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Kidney Diseases
In brief
Hispanic/Latino (HL) and American Indian (AI) patients are more likely than whites to have kidney failure, but less likely to complete transplant evaluation or receive a kidney transplant (KT), the best treatment for kidney failure. Using comparative effectiveness research methods, we will conduct a pragmatic randomized trial to compare the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of two approaches to help HL and AI patients overcome barriers to completing transplant evaluation and receiving a KT: a streamlined KT evaluation process and a peer-assisted evaluation program; and, we will determine best practices to assist other transplant centers in implementing the better program. Findings from this work may help reduce disparities in transplant evaluation and KT.

Who can join
Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- Undergoing kidney transplant evaluation at the University of New Mexico
- Greater than or equal to 18 years of age
- Mentally competent
You may not qualify if…
- Children less than 18 years of age are excluded because all research-related measurements are designed for patients over the age of 18. Children less than 18 years of age have dissimilar decision-making authority as a result of their developmental stage and dependency on adult guardians who must make all their transplant-related decisions, as required by all pediatric transplant centers. The proposed study focuses only on adult transplant patients.
- Waitlisted at another transplant center
- Prior kidney transplant
- Incarcerated patients
- Pregnant women
- Active systemic infection
- Non-skin malignancy or melanoma in the past 2 years
- Known cognitive impairment
