Living kidney donation has been a primary clinical and academic interest in my career. We have completed a prospective, multi-center study of 307 living kidney donors, this study looks at an individuals' perception of living a donation, their risk tolerance, and if relationship closeness impacts a donor's willingness to take risks.
