Background: Striking disparity exists in the incidence and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) secondary to individual social determinants of health.  Additionally, the uninsured, minority racial-ethnic groups, and Medicaid enrollees receive less nephrology care prior to being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The most effective treatment for the management of kidney failure is kidney transplantation. This review addresses how social determinants of health impact the workup for patients with ESRD, with emphasis on the kidney transplant process.   Methods: A search was conducted via multiple online databases (MedLine, PubMed, etc.) for articles that addressed the interplay between CKD, ESRD and kidney transplantation with the social determinants of health.   Findings: The impact of the social determinants of health on CKD, ESRD, and the kidney transplantation process can be qualitatively and quantitatively measured using the five categories of education, health care and access, economic stability, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context.   Conclusion: Social determinants of health impact outcomes in CKD, ESRD, and kidney transplantation. Public and private initiatives aimed at reducing social disparities among patients with kidney disease must include emphasis on education, health care and access, economic stability, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community context. This initiative is necessary to prevent progression to ESRD and to ensure quality care in the kidney transplantation process.

The Los Angeles Plaza Community Center (PCC), an early twentieth-century Los Angeles community center and clinic, published El Mexicano, a quarterly newsletter, from 1913 to 1925. The newsletter’s reports reveal how the PCC combined walk-in medical visits with broader efforts to address the overall wellness of its attendees. Available records, some with occasional clinical details, reveal the general spectrum of illnesses treated over a twelve-year span. Placed in today’s context, the medical care given at this center was simple and minimal. The social support it provided, however, was multifaceted. The center’s caring extended beyond providing medical attention to helping with education, nutrition, employment, transportation, and moral support. Thus, the social determinants of health (SDH), a prominent concern of present-day public health, was a concept already realized and practiced by these early twentieth-century Los Angeles Plaza community leaders. Such practices, although not yet nominally identified as SDH, had their beginnings in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century social activism movement aiming to mitigate the social ills and inequities of emerging industrial nations. The PCC was one of the pioneers in this effort. Its concerns and successes in this area were sophisticated enough to be comparable to our current intentions and aspirations.

The term health disparities (also called health inequalities) refers to the differences in health outcomes and related events across individuals and social groups. Social determinants of health, meanwhile, refers to certain types of causes of ill health in individuals, including lack of early infant care and stimulation, lack of safe and secure employment, poor housing conditions, discrimination, lack of self-respect, poor personal relationships, low community cohesion, and income inequality. These social determinants stand in contrast to others, such as individual biology, behaviors, and proximate exposures to harmful agents. This chapter presents some of the revolutionary findings of social epidemiology and the science of social determinants of health, and shows how health disparities and social determinants raise profound questions in public health ethics and social/global justice philosophy.
