title: The epidemiology of end-state renal disease: the six-year South-Central Los Angeles experience, 1980-85.
abstract: Using the End-Stage Renal Disease Medical Information System and 1980 census information, the crude cumulative incidence among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites in south central Los Angeles was determined to be 160.1, 49.28, and 55.3 per 100,000 respectively. Sex-specific rates were slightly greater in males. Among Blacks, nephrosclerosis and diabetes represented 41.5 and 30.2 per cent of the cases respectively and increased during the period 1980-85.
