PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jazmin Evans had been waiting for a new kidney for four years when her hospital revealed shocking news: She should have been put on the transplant list in 2015 instead of 2019 — and a racially biased organ test was to blame.As upsetting as that notification was, it also was part of an unprecedented move to mitigate the racial inequity. Evans is among more than 14,000 Black kidney transplant candidates so far given credit for lost waiting time, moving them up the priority list for their transplant.

“I remember just reading that letter over and over again,” said Evans, 29, of Philadelphia, who shared the notice in a TikTok video to educate other patients. “How could this happen?”At issue is a once widely used test that overestimated how well Black people’s kidneys were functioning, making them look healthier than they really were — all because of an automated formula that calculated results for Black and non-Black patients differently. That race-based equation could delay diagnosis of organ failure and evaluation for a transplant,that already make Black patients more at risk of needing a new kidney but

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports that a racially biased test has kept thousands of Black patients from receiving a much-needed kidney transplant.A few years ago, the National Kidney Foundation and American Society of Nephrology prodded laboratories to switch to race-free equations in calculating kidney function. Then the U.S. organ transplant network ordered hospitals to use only race-neutral test results in adding new patients to the kidney waiting list.

“The immediate question came up: What about the people on the list right now? You can’t just leave them behind,” said Dr. Martha Pavlakis of Boston’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and former chair of the network’s kidney committee.

Pavlakis calls what happened next an attempt at restorative justice: The transplant network gave hospitals a year to uncover which Black kidney candidates could have qualified for a new kidney sooner if not for the race-based test — and adjust their waiting time to make up for it. That lookback continues for each newly listed Black patient to see if they, too, should have been referred sooner.“Glad he’s back,” Carlisle said. “You know a father should be able to watch his son play basketball, so we welcome him back.”

Apparently, the Pacers and league officials felt the same way, even though the younger Haliburton never complained publicly about the punishment.Instead, Tyrese Haliburton said he understood the decision while explaining his father’s excitement was more about being proud rather than any malicious intent. And on Tuesday night, he produced the kind of game that his father will never forget.

“Obviously, my dad being here is special,” Haliburton said. “But growing up, he was working a lot on weekends so he didn’t come to a lot of my games and when he did come to my games, I wanted to play well. So, of course, I wanted to play well.”OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Jalen Williams, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s second scoring option, looked like a budding superstar during Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
