Now the U.S.
is taking a step toward tracking how living do- nors fare over decades just as candidates are getting some new cau- tions to consider. Specialists insist the surgery seldom brings serious complications for the donor. What happens later in life is less certain. British researchers reported Monday that living kidney donors are more likely to de- velop later kidney fail- ure than non-donors and female donors may experience a pregnan- cy complication, prob- lematic high blood pressure Overall, the chances of trouble still are pretty low, according to the analysis of interna- tional donor studies published in Annals of Internal Medicine. But there been enough research to ad- vise donor candidates especially younger ones about really most at risk and if there are protective steps they could take.
those of us who counsel potential do- nors, there is reason for pessimism that we will soon be able to estimate individual risk with any Drs. Peter Reese of the University of Pennsylvania and Emilio Poggio of the Cleveland Clinic wrote in an accompanying editorial. Until better information, it might be safer to accept dona- tions from middle-aged donors than younger ones, the duo proposed. For example, the best studies of how the re- maining kidney func- tions have tracked do- nors for eight to 15 years, which not be particularly reassuring when advising a 25- year-old they wrote. Meanwhile, the Unit- ed Network for Organ Sharing, which oversees the U.S.
transplant sys- tem, has added the cau- tions in report to the risk information given to would-be do- nors. And 10 transplant centers are about to pi- lot-test a new Living Do- nor Collective an at- tempt to track health for the remainder of their lives, instead of the mere two years of monitoring now re- quired. The goal is to eventually expand to all U.S. transplant pro- grams. more we under- stand risk, and disclose it transparently, the more ensuring public said Dr.
Krista Lentine of Saint Louis University, one of the pilot sites, who also directs living do- nor committee. More than 95,000 people are on the na- tional waiting list for a kidney. Of 19,848 trans- plants performed last year, 5,811 were thanks to living donors, accord- ing to UNOS. Living do- nations shorten the yearslong wait, and those transplants tend to last longer. Surgery always brings risks, but donor deaths from the opera- tion are rare three deaths for every 10,000 donors, according to the most-cited estimate.
About 8 percent of do- nors experience surgical complications such as bleeding or blood clots, according to another study.
