Albuminuria Testing by Race and Ethnicity among Patients with Hypertension with and without Diabetes

Conclusions: Prevalence of UACR testing among low-income patients with HTN is low in one public health-care delivery system, with higher odds of UACR testing among racial/ethnic minority subgroups compared to Whites without diabetes and similar odds among those with diabetes. If generalizable, less albuminuria testing may not explain higher prevalence of kidney failure in racial/ethnic minorities.Am J Nephrol
