摘要

Hispanic and immigrant children experience persistent inequities in kidney health driven by social and structural barriers, including restrictive insurance policies, language access gaps, and immigration-related fear. These forces contribute to fragmented care and erode trust in healthcare systems. This commentary examines multilevel drivers of inequity and highlights the chilling effects of recent anti-immigration and data-sharing policies on healthcare engagement. We argue that pediatric clinicians have a critical role beyond the bedside: advocacy, institutional reform, and engagement in health policy are essential to advancing equitable kidney care.
