Notably, severe COVID-19 has been associated with acute kidney injury (AKI), which can increase the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) over time. In an effort to address these challenges, NKF is advocating for access to affordable healthcare, to increase our federal investment in research, prevention, and innovations in care for people with kidney disease, and to ensure that racial and ethnic communities are not left behind. This work is important, but it alone cannot solve the many health and socioeconomic disparities facing Black or African American and other minority communities, which are rooted in historical and ongoing systemic racism.	./cache/cord-297103-f3jdbv47.txt	./txt/cord-297103-f3jdbv47.txt
