I am a black dialysis patient (8yrs) who was diagnosed 7yrs before needing diaylsis and was NOT TREATED to prevent ESRD. In my mind and by my experience BLACKS are not treated and this is why blacks are more likely to progress to ESRD, and all other sicknesses, quicker than our white counterparts

Are there any pre-trial or clinical studies being done at the present time to determine what causes progression of CKD in African Americans. And if possible relay message to me by email.

I am curious as to the impact HIV medcations have on CKD and ESRD. I have often heard that renal capacity improves if the virus itself is controled.

What tests are available to determine CDK early and what can be done to prolong good healthy kidney function?
