Core Tip This study examines how obesity, measured by body mass index (BMI), and individual income jointly influence access to deceased donor kidney transplantation and living donor kidney transplantation among adults listed in the United States. By stratifying analyses by race and ethnicity, we identify distinct patterns in how BMI and income affect transplant likelihood. These findings highlight the need to consider both clinical and social risk factors when designing strategies to improve equity in kidney transplant access.
