Cozette Kale, MD, MPH - Virtual Only Surgery and Science: Mitigating Health Disparities in Transplantation Jayme E. Locke, MD, MPH, FACS, FAST, Director, UAB Comprehensive Transplant Institute; Associate Chief Medical Officer for Inpatient Quality & Patient Safety; Professor of Surgery; Chief, Division of Transplantation; Arnold G. Diethelm Endowed Chair in Transplantation Surgery, Division of Transplantation, Department of Surgery University of Alabama at Birmingham Medicine A. Cozette Kale, MD, MPH, UAB General Surgery Resident, University of Alabama at Birmingham Medicine Abstract: Racial disparities in kidney transplantation have been well-described. African American/Black individuals are more likely to develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) compared to white counterparts, but are less likely to receive the best treatment option – a living donor kidney transplant. In this seminar, we will review our recent JAMA Surgery publication “Evaluation of Community-Level Vulnerability and Racial Disparities in Living Donor Kidney Transplant,” and further explore the role of social determinants of health, donor considerations, health policy, and implicit biases within our healthcare system as they pertain to living donor kidney transplantation.
