Core Tip	In this study, we found that black race is significantly associated with lower rates of kidney transplantation (KT) after controlling socioeconomic and geographic factors. Although studies have analyzed health care utilization and disparities in various pediatric renal diseases such as acute kidney injury, socioeconomic and demographic disparities have been poorly defined in the pediatric literature on KT. In this study, we excluded young adults 18-21 who may have increased difficulty with access to care as they transition from pediatric to adult care. Future prospective studies are needed to evaluate the complexity of disparities in pediatric KT access.
