Live Kidney Donor Study - Cross-Sectional and Historical Cohort Study
Completed
Conditions studied: End Stage Renal Disease, Transplantation
In brief
Kidney transplantation from living donors has been shown to carry many benefits over deceased donor transplantation. Because of benefits such as shorter waiting times and improved outcome for transplant recipients, living kidney donation accounts for an increasing number of kidney transplants nationwide. Most published studies about living kidney donation demonstrate that the procedure is safe, but they also emphasize concerns that long-term data on live donor outcomes are insufficient. The purpose of this study is to assess the long term outcomes and risks that may arise from living kidney donation.
