Nephrol Ther. 2023 Aug 28;18(S2):50-53. doi: 10.1016/S1769-7255(22)00568-5.ABSTRACTOn the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the REIN (French Renal Epidemiology and Information Network), a summary work on the contributions of the national French ESKD register was carried out. On the issue of Social Inequalities in Health, the following key messages were retained. Social inequalities in health exist throughout the journey of a patient with chronic kidney disease and manifest as territorial inequalities in access to home-based or independent dialysis treatment and to transplant, whether preemptive or otherwise. SIH are observed in adults as well as in the paediatric population. The female gender appears to be associated with a disparity in access to kidney transplant.PMID:37638509 | DOI:10.1016/S1769-7255(22)00568-5
