Many medical schools are associated wit…
PP55 Socioeconomic Status and Chronic Kidney Disease
Background Renal replacement therapy rates are higher in more deprived populations in developed countries. The relationship between population-level prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and socio-economic status (SES) is less clear. Albuminuria is also recognised as an independent risk factor for poor CKD outcomes but again little is known about its relationship with SES. The nationally representative Health Surveys for England (HSE) 2009 a…
