| Core Tip |
Kidney transplantation (KT) is lifesaving as a treatment of kidney failure regardless of race and body habitus. However, long-term data on outcomes in people with obesity who are of Black ethnicity are limited, and this can be a significant deterrent to transplantation in this group. In addition, the available evidence supporting the benefits of KT in the Black population with obesity is controversial. We have reviewed the literature and discuss factors (both modifiable and non-modifiable) affecting access to and outcomes from KT. Issues such as suitable policy changes, better characterisation of Black patients (including genetic studies) and steps to ensure appropriate medication dosing are vital. Emerging medications and new surgical interventions also raise hope in improving access for black patients. |
