Section of Nephrology, University of Chicago Medicine.
Background: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and occurs without racial predilection. In general, non-White ESKD patients have less access to transplantation, especially living donor transplantation.

Applying the Social Representations Approach, a qualitative study of 10 focus group discussions (n = 39), was conducted in Singapore, Malaysia and the UK to explore how, and why racialised identity construction changed in each socio-political context. The study challenged two underlying assumptions in social psychology: (1) that the meaning of the racialised category holds constant across time and space, and (2) there exists a pan-racial identification among Asian identities, for example, which at times allows for racialised categories to be manipulated as variables.
