In the past decade, there have been increasing efforts to better define and quantify the short-
and long-term risks of living kidney donation. Recent studies have expanded upon the …

The growing accessibility and falling costs of genetic sequencing techniques has expanded
the utilization of genetic testing in clinical practice. For living kidney donation, genetic …

Results Even after accounting for social determinants of health, Black patients had a lower
likelihood of kidney transplant (subdistribution hazard ratio, 0.74; 95% confidence interval …

Historically, to minimize risks, living kidney donors have been highly selected and healthy.
Operative risks are well-defined, yet concern remains about long-term risks. In the general …

The number of live kidney donors has declined since 2005. This decline parallels the
evolving knowledge of risk for biologically related, black, and younger donors. To …

We surveyed US transplant programs to assess practices used to assess kidney health in
living kidney donor candidates in 2017; the response rate was 31%. In this report, we focus …

Importance Living kidney donation is associated with increased long-term risk of end-stage
renal disease (ESRD). An early postdonation marker of ESRD risk could improve …

Background Living kidney donation risk is likely to differ according to donor's demographics.
We aimed to analyse the effects of age, sex, body mass index (BMI) and ethnicity. Methods A …

The first sustained increase in live kidney donation in the United States in 15 years was
observed from 2017 to 2019. To help sustain this surge, we studied 35 900 donors (70.3 …

Introduction The kidney's capacity to increase its glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in response
to a higher functional demand is known as the renal functional reserve (RFR). Good short …
