Abstract

Several sources of data indicate that there are racial and ethnic disparities in the management of anemia of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. In this article, I present evidence documenting these disparities and discuss possible factors that may explain the suboptimal anemia management. I also provide recommendations to improve anemia management in disadvantaged populations.
