“…The IMKT functions effectively and admirably in Mashhad (Fry‐Revere, 2014) using transparent and formal side payments through the IKF. While IKF branches in other cities do not track side payments, the IKF in Mashhad is the only center that documents the entire transaction, including the extra money beyond the official price, in order to avoid fraudulent or excessive price increases.…”

The Iranian model of kidney transplantation (IMKT) is an example of a legal system of compensated, living, and unrelated renal donation. This study demonstrates its heterogeneity regarding prerequisites, restrictions, and policies for matching donors and recipients with an emphasis on the case of Mashhad, in which the Iranian Kidney Foundation (IKF) received criticism about the kidney market. The IKF in Mashhad strives to prevent the poor from imprudently selling their own kidneys by informing them about the consequences of a kidney transplant, resolving their financial needs, and imposing several legal obstacles before a transplant is allowed. We show that the IMKT does not fully eliminate excess demand for kidneys, although it significantly decreases demand so that Iran has the shortest waiting list in the world. Nevertheless, the relative number of kidney transplants, especially from deceased donors, are higher in Mashhad compared to the average of other centers in Iran, as almost forty percent of renal patients on the active waiting list get a kidney each year.

“…The legal kidney market in Iran is not working the same in all cities. On the one extreme, it has its remarkable function in Mashhad with transparent side payments (26). In Mashhad, the KF tries to prevent the poor from unadvisedly selling their kidneys by informing them about the consequences of a kidney transplant, fixing their financial needs, and imposing several legal obstacles before a transplant is authorized (27).…”

The kidney market in Iran is the only legal market of this sort globally. Yet, it has not been empirically studied based on real data. For the first time, we obtained data on donors and recipients from the Kidney Foundation in Mashhad, April 2011 up to March 2018, and assessed which individualistic characteristics contribute to a kidney’s price. Our findings indicate that each year of education for both donors and recipients increases the kidney price. Moreover, old patients are willing to make a higher payment to young vendors. We have also provided some policy implications to improve the efficiency of kidney allocations.

“…There's even evidence from two recent studies in Iran that this is the case, though prior studies have said differently (Koplin, 2014). However, it's been well documented that the studies and literature used to suggest this stigmatization in Iran, as well as falsely give evidence for Koplin's arguments, are outdated and were performed before Iran's "renovation" of their transplant system, which brings their validity and accuracy very much into question (Frye-Revere, 2014).…”
