Trends in Out-of-Pocket Burden in United States Adults with Kidney Disease: 2002-2011.

CONCLUSIONS: Though high OOP burden declined between 2002 and 2011 in the US population with KD, most of the decline was among the publicly insured, so the uninsured populations with KD remain vulnerable. Providers and policy makers should be aware of the vulnerability of uninsured individuals with KD to high OOP burden.
