“…Data from different countries, including the US, France, China, and India, confirm differential kidney transplant rates (lower in women than men), less likelihood of women being registered on national transplant waiting lists, and longer time from dialysis initiation to listing. Mothers are more likely to be donors, as are female spouses [91, 105-108]. Sex inequality also exists in the pediatric population.…”

Chronic kidney disease affects approximately 10% of the world’s adult population: it is within the top 20 causes of death worldwide, and its impact on patients and their families can be devastating. World Kidney Day and International Women’s Day in 2018 coincide, thus offering an opportunity to reflect on the importance of women’s health and specifically their kidney health, on the community and the next generations, as well as to strive to be more curious about the unique aspects of kidney disease in women so that we may apply those learnings more broadly. Girls and women, who make up approximately 50% of the world’s population, are important contributors to society and their families. Gender differences continue to exist around the world in access to education, medical care, and participation in clinical studies. Pregnancy is a unique state for women, offering an opportunity for diagnosis of kidney disease, but also a state where acute and chronic kidney diseases may manifest, and which may impact future generations with respect to kidney health. There are various autoimmune and other conditions that are more likely to have an impact on women, with profound consequences for child bearing, and on the fetus. Women have different complications on dialysis than men, and are more likely to be donors than recipients of kidney transplants. In this editorial, we focus on what we do and do not know about women, kidney health, and kidney disease, and what we might learn in the future to improve outcomes worldwide.

Abstract-Living donor nephrectomy for renal transplantation has become widespread as surgical techniques. A questionnaire survey of living transplantation donors who gave a kidney to their spouses was conducted to determine their perceptions of living donor kidney transplantation. In this survey, 2 of 3 kidneys were donated by wives. In general, men are breadwinners in the family and women are more often expected to act as donors. From the responses to the question "How much was your intention to become a donor?," it was clear that wife-donors had lesser intention to donate than husband-donors. In other words, the decision of wife-donors was more influenced by others. Donors were also asked their opinions regarding transplantation of surgically restored cancerous kidneys. This is currently not allowed in Japan. From the result, wife-donors were more tolerant of restored kidney transplantation than husband-donors. Transplantation using a previously cancerous donor kidney may offer some relief of pressure placed on family members, particularly wives, to donate.Index Terms-Questionnaire survey, gender imbalance in living donor, donors' perceptions, restored kidney transplantation.

“…Данные из различ-ных стран, в том числе из США, Франции, Китая и Индии, подтверждают различия в частоте транс-плантации почек (у женщин ниже, чем у мужчин), а также меньшую вероятность попасть в лист ожи-дания и большую длительность пребывания на ди-ализе до включения в лист ожидания для женщин. Матери и жены с большей вероятностью окажутся донорами почки [91,[105][106][107][108]. Гендерное неравен-ство существует и в педиатрической популяции.…”
