Abstract:
Renal transplantation and living donation in France. While renal transplantation remains the best option for patients with end-stage renal disease, it does not cover the needs of the population. Transplantation from living donors is becoming the strategy of first choice to address the numerous challenges faced by both the patients and the transplant community. However, living kidney donor transplantation remains marginal in France and concerns only 15% of the transplanted patients. Herein, after reviewing the main epidemiological trends of renal transplantation in France, we discuss the reasons and opportunities of further developing living kidney donation.
