Abstract：
:PURPOSE: Blacks have a high rate of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and low birthweight (LBW) than whites. LBW has been associated with ESRD. The purpose of this study was to assess impact of LBW on the racial difference in ESRD.METHODS: Patients born in SC after 1950 and diagnosed with ESRD between 1991-1996 were identified from the ESRD registry. Birth weight was compared for 858 black and 372 white patients and 2460 controls matched for age, sex, and race. LBW was defined as birthweight <2500 g.RESULTS: Among patients with ESRD, mean birthweight was lower in blacks than whites (3179 vs 3367 g, p < 0.001). LBW was more common in blacks than whites with ESRD (13.9 vs 7.5%, p = 0.02). The risk ratio for LBW among ESRD patients was 1.4 (95% C.I. 1.1 to 1.8) for blacks and 1.5 (95% C.I. 0.9 to 2.5) for whites. The population attributable risk (PAR) for ESRD due to LBW was greater for blacks than whites (33.6 vs 4.2 per 100,000).CONCLUSIONS: Birthweights were lower and LBW was more common among blacks than whites with ESRD. Moreover, LBW contributed more to the PAR of ESRD in blacks than whites. Thus, LBW may contribute to the greater risk for ESRD in African Americans than Caucasians. This preliminary study indicates that further research on the link between LBW and ESRD could be instructive in understanding the racial health disparities.
