“…Since then, many of the recent papers looking at NDDs look only at the data of a single center. In the US, reports have been published from Utah (20 donors), Minnesota (22 donors), and Rhode Island (11 and 39 donors, respectively) [1,[6][7][8]. From abroad, reports from individual centers in Sweden (3 donors), New Zealand (17 donors), and the Netherlands (8 donors) have been published [5,9,11].…”

Demographic Characteristics of Non-directed Altruistic Kidney Donors in the United States

Among transplant centers in the US, the acceptance of kidneys from non-directed, altruistic donors is a relatively recent phenomenon, beginning in the late 1990's. Originally starting out as a handful each year, the number of nondirected donations has since increased to now represent over 3% of the annual living donor pool of transplanted kidneys. The psychosocial and functional outcomes of non-directed donors have been extensively studied, yet the demographic characteristics of these donors have largely escaped analysis on a national-level. We examined national UNOS data from the past 27 years to understand the demographic characteristics of non-directed donors by gender, ethnicity, citizenship status, UNOS region, and ABO blood type. In this analysis, we found that: non-directed donors are an increasingly important source of kidneys; non-directed donors have tended to be male, white, and US citizens; several UNOS regions (5, 7, and 9 in particular) are more prolific in performing non-directed donations than others; and non-directed donors are more likely to be of either ABO type O or A. Continued study of this population is needed to understand how these non-directed donor demographic characteristics may change over time.

“…-especially in the United States (US). Work that has been done thus far focuses on the experiences of a single center, rather than the country at large [1,[5][6][7][8][9]. To our knowledge, the last scholarly publication looking at national demographic data of NDDs in the US was published in 2003 [10].…”

“…One of the reasons for this is to prevent commercialisation (11). However, in some countries, such as the United States and Canada, anonymity is only maintained for the first 3-6 months after transplantation (12)(13)(14)(15). Thereafter, identification and exchange of information or meetings are often arranged by the transplant centre if both parties are willing.…”

Domino kidney paired donation (KPD) is a method by which an altruistic living nondirected donor (LND) isOne-year and 5-year graft survival rates were 98.3% and 87.7%, respectively, with a median followup of 46 months. One-year and 5-year patient survival rates were 97.2% and 90.8%, respectively. In conclusion, multicenter domino KPD could multiply the benefits of donation from LNDs, with patients and graft survival rates comparable to those seen with conventional KPD.
