Equitable hemodialysis for undocumented immigrant patients: prioritizing patient voices in care implementation

摘要

Undocumented immigrant patients with kidney disease in the United States are rightfully gaining increased access to scheduled hemodialysis treatments. For health care systems that have transitioned from emergency to more consistent treatments, the impact of this care on patients' livelihood remains unknown. Cervantes and colleagues provide evidence to better understand patients' experiences following transitions to scheduled hemodialysis treatments. These data are invaluable to formulate future implementation strategies that prioritize patients' values and health equity. Copyright (C) 2020, International Society of Nephrology.
