Title: Living donor kidney transplantation
Description: Living donor kidney (LDK) transplantation has become the definitive approach to the treatment of end-stage renal failure, providing a better quality of life and the best opportunity for survival. A compendium of the current practice of LDK transplantation presented by international experts, this text explores a number of controversial aspects of this innovative technique. Discussing the current situation in detail, the authors focus on the responsibility of the medical community to the live kidney donor as a patient and the potential for complacency regarding donor risk. The authors also emphasize the ethical principles that must dictate practice in LDK transplantation for the foreseeable future.
