摘要

The Haitian immigrant population in the United States is disproportionately affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD) yet underrepresented in research and policy discussions. While disparities in CKD care among Black Americans have been described, the unique barriers faced by Haitian immigrants in the U.S. remain insufficiently explored, including the lack of epidemiological data. In this article, we review environmental, social, institutional, and policy factors influencing kidney care for this community and discuss potential solutions[Fig.1]. This article aims to inform clinicians, educators, and policymakers seeking to advance equitable kidney care for Haitian immigrants in the United States.
