CANBERRA, Australia ? An Australian government report indicates that indigenous kidney patients are far less likely than other Australians to receive an organ transplant.
The report by the government's Australian Institute of Health and Welfare released Friday found that only 12 percent of Aborigines suffering the most severe stage of chronic kidney disease have a functioning transplanted kidney compared with 45 percent of other Australians. The statistic does not include patients whose transplant failed.
The report says Aborigines are also four times more likely to die of chronic kidney disease than other Australians.
