“…While a number of studies reveal the financial difficulties that lead vulnerable people into selling their organs and the negative consequences that follow [28,32,33], there is little or no information to suggest that these cases involve (all elements of) human trafficking [34,35]. Rather, these studies show that the experiences and outcomes of organs sellers/selling can vary extensively [34][35][36]. Yea, who interviewed organ sellers in a slum in the Philippines notes that "trafficking is generally assumed rather than rigorously established" [34].…”

“…Also unknown are statistics on donor and recipient outcomes after such transplants. In these unregulated, underground markets, prospective donors are often poorly informed, inadequately screened, not allowed to change their minds, given little postdonation care and no follow-up, and are often not even rewarded with the incentive that was promised [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. In general, reports from the countries that have underground markets indicate that many donors regret their participation; unknown is whether or not any donors from the same countries feel that they benefited.…”

“…Finally, some countries have maximized (or nearly maximized) both living and deceased donation -and still have a significant shortage. A consequence of the organ shortage is that unregulated, underground markets for donation have developed in many countries (over many continents) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

The organ shortage has become a crisis for transplant candidates with end-stage renal disease, and a significant number of them either die while waiting or become too sick to transplant. A consequence, worldwide, has been the development of unregulated markets for donation; these markets have been associated with poor outcomes for both donors and recipients. In contrast, a regulated system of incentives might increase donation rates while also providing a benefit to donors. Criteria for an acceptable system have been proposed: protection of the donor and recipient, regulation, transparency, and oversight. Many of the concerns about the implications and impact of such a system could be answered with a clinical trial in a country (or countries) that can meet the described standards. Yet the debate about the advisability of developing such a system continues, even as the waiting lists grow and candidates die while waiting.

“…Of 478 living unrelated kidney donors from different transplant centers in Iran, 85% (n ¼ 408) were men. Financial issues were the most frequent motive for kidney donation under these circumstances [31]. Gift rewarding, drug abuse, unemployment, and economical deadlock with the urgent need of money are frequent in this country [19].…”

Renal transplantation is the first choice of treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. It offers a longer life span, a better quality of life, and lower health care costs as compared to long-term dialysis. In the past years, a constantly rising demand of kidneys on the one hand and a shortage of disposable organs on the other hand pose a growing challenge on transplant medicine. Donor and recipient gender may influence many aspects of kidney transplantation, but the nature of these interactions is still unclear. This article summarizes a part of our present knowledge in the field of gender-related kidney donation and kidney transplantation. Causes for gender disparity and its consequences will be discussed.
