Racial bias cited in transplants
The article reports concerns that the kidney transplant system may favor white patients due to tissue matching rules and donor demographics. It cites doctors from Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Howard University Hospital, noting that race is not supposed to factor in but that scoring may disproportionately delay black patients. Experts discuss exemptions, medical versus non medical factors, and calls to change the scoring method to reduce inequities.
