Description
Bravo and eleven co-authors mapped kidney injury gaps in childhood leukemia for this study from twenty twenty-six. Acute kidney injury is a known risk during leukemia care. The team pulled records from a multicenter network for children with the two main leukemia types. Neighborhood resources were scored with a child opportunity index.
Among over nine hundred fifty lymphoblastic cases, Black children had higher kidney injury rates at diagnosis than white children. Neighborhood scores showed no link in that group. During therapy for myeloid leukemia, Black children again faced higher risk, roughly doubled or more after adjustment. No neighborhood gap appeared there either. The authors call for work on what drives the racial gaps.
