Abstract

While there has been an appropriate focus on characterizing the risks associated with living kidney donation, little attention has been paid to the potential benefit to the donor of undergoing the living donor evaluation. This review highlights four studies from the United States and Europe across 30 years demonstrating that the living donor evaluation leads to the detection of previously undiagnosed medical problems in potential donors, including serious cancers. Potential donors should be counseled on the possible benefit of undergoing evaluation.

活体肾脏评估的救命效益：一个小回顾

虽然对活体肾脏捐赠的风险特征进行了适当的关注，但很少有人注意到进行活体捐赠者评估对捐赠者的潜在好处。本综述重点介绍了美国和欧洲30年来的四项研究，这些研究表明，活体供体评估可以在潜在供体中发现以前未确诊的医疗问题，包括严重的癌症。应就进行评价可能带来的好处向可能的捐助者提供咨询。

期刊介绍： Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored. Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include: Immunology and immunosuppression; Patient preparation; Social, ethical, and psychological issues; Complications, short- and long-term results; Artificial organs; Donation and preservation of organ and tissue; Translational studies; Advances in tissue typing; Updates on transplant pathology;. Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries. Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
