Researchers have found that blacks have 59% reduced rates of getting kidney transplantation in the Emory transplant center.

From Saypeople,

Researchers have found that black patients constitute about 56% of the waiting list but only 44% of those got eventual transplantation. They have found the biggest inequalities in the time between diagnosis and referral, i.e. 283 days for blacks and 84 days for whites, and time spent on the waiting list, i.e. 727 days for blacks versus 374 days for whites. However, according to researchers at the national level blacks get equivalent rate of transplantation as whites. 

This research has been published online in the American Journal of Transplantation.
