活体供肾移植（LDKT）中的种族差异仍然存在，但消除这些差异的最有效目标仍然未知。一个潜在的目标可能是在完成活体供体评估过程中的延迟。我们研究了2011年1月至2015年3月期间在我们中心进行的247名非洲裔美国人（AA）和664名非AA活体供体候选人的评估过程中进展的种族差异。AA候选人更有可能肥胖（38%对22%：P
Racial disparities in living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) persist but the most effective target to eliminate these disparities remains unknown. One potential target could be delays during completion of the live donor evaluation process. We studied racial differences in progression through the evaluation process for 247 African American (AA) and 664 non-AA living donor candidates at our center between January 2011 and March 2015. AA candidates were more likely to be obese (38% vs 22%: P
