Kidney Donors Live As Long As Those Who Don’t Donate
Segev hopes that the study will make people more aware of the major problems surrounding kidney disease, such as the profound organ shortage, wait-list mortality, and the poor quality of life for people on dialysis. "I hope that those things will inspire donors, and that our study will help quantify the risks so they can make intelligent choices," Segev says. Although donors are carefully screened before the procedure, he stresses that there are risks. "It's still a major operation. You're still living with one kidney. People still need to think about it and be aware of the risks in taking on this heroic act," he says. Donors are advised to see a doctor once a year after removal, in hopes that any trouble (like disease in the remaining kidney) would be caught early.
