Appraisal of Impact of Race-Neutral Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Waiting Time Modification on Transplant Wait Time and Outcomes for Black Kidney Candidates: Importance of Transplant Readiness on the Waitlist

However, higher comorbidities and readmissions among these patients suggest the need for thorough transplant readiness evaluations before waitlist activation.
