Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Kidney transplants from living donors now account for 40% of all the kidney transplants done in the United States. However, the current information on how donating a kidney can affect the donor's long term health needs further investigation. The purpose of this study is to collect data on a large number of live kidney donors and create and analyze a comprehensive database. Information about the number of living kidney donors, including those who have experienced kidney failure, heart problems, and death will be gathered for the database. Investigators will then use the database to identify the risks of kidney failure, associated conditions, and death after living donation. The database will also be used to identify characteristics that put donors at higher risk for health problems after donation.
