Abstrakt: The high occurrence of end-stage renal disease among black Americans is a well established feature. Black Africans are also more affected by chronic renal diseases. This lethal condition may constitute a great challenge for nephrologists in the tropics where financial resources to fund dialysis treatment are very scarce. A realistic role for the tropical nephrologist is discussed.
