The 60:40 conundrum: are women with CKD discriminated after referral to a nephrology clinic?
Males and females are referred at similar eGFR levels, which appears to be the main reason for seeking nephrology care. Afterward, the ratio between males and females remains stable, suggesting that if a sex-selection bias exists, it should be sought before the first nephrology referral. However, further studies are needed to ensure that health equity is respected across sexes.
