The role of implementation science in advancing equity in kidney health

Abstract

Awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and uptake of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) that increase awareness and/or slow progression to kidney failure remain alarmingly low. The global rise in immigration might exacerbate CKD prevalence among minoritized groups, which underscores the need for the nephrology community to acknowledge the diverse contexts that influence EBI implementation and to integrate health equity approaches.
