Reports ESRD incidence differences by race in Southeastern Michigan, suggesting implications for health care planning.

This research aims to investigate the racial factors contributing to the incidence of end-stage renal disease in a specific region.
Analyzed ESRD rates from 1973 to 1975 in a 7-county region of Southeastern Michigan.
Compared rates of new ESRD cases by race in black and white populations across different districts.
Average annual ESRD rates were 50.4/million, with black individuals having rates between 125.4 and 159.4/million.
White individuals had ESRD rates ranging from 29.4 to 41.3/million, notably lower in Detroit compared to adjacent areas.
Black individuals were found to be more susceptible to ESRD from glomerulonephritis, hypertension, and diabetic nephropathy.

Ronald E. Easterling (1977) studied this question.
