Gender disparities in specialized nephrology care

Key takeaways

This paper looks at whether men and women get equal access to specialist kidney care. Work like this compares groups as they already are, so it shows a gap, not the reason behind it. Access gaps matter because seeing a kidney specialist earlier is linked to slower decline. The abstract was not available, so the size of the gap is not reported here.
