Abstract:
This paper describes some of the issues currently influencing thoughts and practice in expanding the use of living kidney donors. One of the challenges facing kidney transplantation is the increasing number of patients with Established Renal Failure (ERF) waiting for a kidney, and the ethical concerns raised as a result of meeting these challenges by the use of living donors. Nephrology professionals play an important role in the education of patients and potential living kidney donors and should be familiar with current issues related to this field.
