“…That is why results of living unrelated-donor donation should be compared with results of ideal donors, which can be defined as those with primary function and complete HLAmatch. It has been demonstrated that there is no difference in the function rate of so-defined ideal donor kidneys from cadaveric donors [20] (Fig. 3).…”

The number of living donations is increasing in Europe and especially in Germany. The reasons seem to be a continuous shortage of cadaveric organs, better results after living related and living unrelated donation, and a high willingness in the population to donate. Various legal prerequisites have to be fulfilled in different countries. In general, careful donor evaluation is necessary to avoid excessive risk in the donor. Nephrectomy for transplantation can be performed via various approaches; microinvasive surgical techniques have been introduced, but are not yet established. Immunosuppression in living related donation is no different from that in cadaveric transplantations. In conclusion, living donation seems to be an adequate alternative to cadaveric donation. Moreover, results are twice as good as cadaveric donation with regard to long-term function.

A program was established within our regional procurement organization to permit evaluation of altruistic living donors (LD) interested in nondirected kidney or liver segment donation prior to transplant center referral.During the initial 30 months of program operations, 731 donor inquiries were received of which 131 individuals called back after review of mailed information materials. Forty-seven candidates initiated and 19 completed the evaluation process. Seven underwent donation to include six kidneys and one liver segment, five are actively pending donation, five were excluded from donation following transplant center evaluation and two took no further action after their intended liver recipients received deceased donor (DD) transplants. Psychological evaluation of these 19 candidates found them to be free of psychopathology, highly cooperative and self-directed. They did not exhibit attentionseeking or religious motivations for their actions. All seven donors and recipients continue to do well postoperatively. This evaluation program has made possible largescale screening and education of prospective altruistic LD within the general population and also provides a unique opportunity to further our understanding of those individuals interested in living-nondirected donation.
