Abstract

What are the chances that a 13-year-old child with end stage renal disease (ESRD) will undergo a kidney transplant, or at least be treated with dialysis? Sadly, the answer is not only clinical but also sociological in nature, deeply rooted in economic, polit-ical, and social structures. If, for example, this child lives in a lower- or middle-in-come country, her chances of being diagnosed in time to receive such care are low (Muralidharan/White 2015; Muller 2016). However, if this child was born in a Scan-dinavian country, she would have a good chance of receiving a transplant that would lengthen her life by many years.
