Living kidney donation (LKD) is a valuable option, with most donors reporting positive experiences and a willingness to donate again. However, some financial and informational aspects require improvement for future living kidney donors.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Living kidney donation (LKD) is a critical component of kidney transplantation.
  • Understanding donor perspectives is essential for optimizing the LKD process and promoting altruism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the living kidney donation process from the donor's viewpoint.
  • To assess the impact of LKD on donors' social, emotional, and financial well-being and overall quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous survey was administered to 22 living kidney donors.
  • Data were collected 6 months post-donation at a Barcelona hospital between May 2000 and December 2002.

Main Results:

  • 90.5% understood the risks, and 95% found the process explanations accurate.

  • 100% would donate again; 75% experienced no financial impact, though 25% reported financial effects.
  • All donors but one felt recovered with their pre-donation quality of life.

    • Conclusions:

    • Living kidney donation is a beneficial therapeutic option.
    • Enhancing pre-donation information and addressing potential financial losses for donors are crucial.
    • Broader public engagement is needed to recognize the benefits of LKD.
