Quality of life
Organ selling is legally banned in Asia. Numerous studies have documented that organ vendors have a poor "quality of life" (QOL) following kidney donation. However, a study done by Vemuru reddy "et al" shows a significant improvement in Quality of life contrary to the earlier belief. Live related renal donors have a significant improvement in the QOL following renal donation using the WHO QOL BREF in a study done at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences from 2006 to 2008. The quality of life of the donor was poor when the graft was lost or the recipient died.
