- Historically, Black patients have had to wait longer for kidney transplants than other races, in part because of an outdated test that overestimated their kidney function. Now, a new national rule will remove the test, which is seen as racially bias, in determining who gets a transplant. NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor shares more.

I wish I had PLATINUM health insurance like the corrupt politicians voted for themselves... instead of my Bronze.
Insurance is a scam. Just save your money. I never had insurance.
Amen 🙏🏾, I have kidney problems since 2012 while I was 12 years old and I’m just so blessed I was able to run in national for track , play football and basketball . Being active and drinking water is key to healing your kidneys
In an article written by kristal Higgins in august 2021, she says she’s using an at home dialysis machine…she also lives owns a 2300+ sq ft home which has an appraised total value of $300k+. Report the whole story without bias!
You do understand that there can be a Timelapse between when this video was posted and when she was qualified to go onto at home dialysis right? Also the value of her home has zero to do with this.
@@room920renalforlifefacts
Propaganda machine in action 🤡
They're coming for you!
I got a transplant in less than 3 years but make sure you have a good long term care plan and policy because it is very expensive for the upkeep and uninsured 22 years strong
This article indicates it aired 9 days ago. I passed this information on to a friend who was told the article is 9 years old. Can anyone confirm that?
It's current this just occurred. They should receive a letter this year
I can offer my kidney
🙄🙄🙄🙄
So what's new.....
Uh maybe it has something to do with compatibility? But way to go on the race-baiting, NBC 👍
Clearly said the OPTN and testing pay attention.
THE eGFR has nothing to do with compatibility and everything to do with an estimation of how well your kidneys are functioning, and only one race was separated from the others: African-Americans.
Poor black people. Can't they get a break?!
Not if they're always playing the victim
The systems breaking so everybody who’s not wealthy will be considered an inward - specially you two! 😬
@@directordank hold it together bro you gonna make it
They have been getting a break for decades now . They are not the one who are the poorest and who suffer racism and constant hate crimes. “Mexican” Americans ( who ironically are indigenous native North Americans) have been suffering since USA 🇺🇸 INVADED their motherland of origin. Obama even made their history illegal to be included and taught claiming whites would be targeted for racism and hate crimes. So instead cowardly replace over 75% of USA 🇺🇸 history with black history and keep blaming the victims the real North Americans.
It's mostly because there are fewer black donors.
kidney transplant can come from anyone who a match
Kidneys don't have a race
But yet no one talks about how peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are deeply rooted in racist origins. Do better NBC
Oh well nothing we can do
Move to Utah they don't want no black people in Utah county, or their Mormon neighborhoods and do they have good kidneys with all the best food here..lol.
@@naymayabiksnibi but won't you feel overcrowded
Just so the racist know, everything the reporter said was proven as fact. Everything.i got my letter from my dialysis center a while back. My wait time is now equal with those of other races. The only group that was treated experienced this bias was black people.
lololol always talking about the blacks
What about me? Nobody ever talks about me.
@@AngryNegativeHistoryProject poor you
@@FAMEROB what did poor mean?
It’s always about the white population this is what this video has indicated. The test didn’t show actual kidney function for blacks while it was accurate for whites . You are greatly mistaken because this meant that many blacks suffered, or even died.
what is the wait time for Mexicans and Asians?
Extremely long over a decade
The roughly the same as for white, because the test calculation only created separate results for African American. There was no separate value for Latin American or Asians.
yeah sure. outdated test. Stop blaming other people for your problems. Ree reparationsssss
