May reflect healthcare access gaps in US CKD care; leaves open socioeconomic drivers of ESRD progression disparities.
Relative Risk: 2.5
Despite similar CKD prevalence, US white individuals have a 2.5-fold higher risk of progressing to ESRD compared to Norwegians, highlighting the potential impact of healthcare access and socioeconomic factors on disease progression.
Wasse et al. (2006) conducted an editorial in Chronic kidney disease and ESRD. US white population vs. Norwegian population was evaluated on Incident ESRD among individuals with stages 3 to 4 CKD (2.5-fold greater risk). The risk for incident ESRD among US white individuals with stages 3 to 4 CKD was 2.5-fold greater compared with Norwegians, despite similar CKD prevalence.
