The American Society of Nephrology (ASN), the European Renal Association (ERA), and the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) are delighted to announce the latest webinar in their joint series on kidney ethics, Equitable Living Kidney Donation - Progress and Perils
Presenting and learning from Martha Gershun’s living kidney donation to a stranger in the USA, panelists (including a bioethicist, a nephrologist and a transplant surgeon) will discuss barriers to living kidney donation and the ways such barriers may create or exacerbate inequity.
Taking into consideration the bioethical history of these barriers as well as different contexts across the globe, panelists will propose recommendations for transplant professionals to reduce these barriers and thereby improve living kidney donation.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe a donor’s perspective on living kidney donation to a stranger in the USA
• Explain barriers to living kidney donation and the ways such barriers may create or exacerbate inequity
• Identify ethically-relevant differences in rates of kidney transplantation from living and deceased individuals across countries
• Propose context-specific recommendations for transplant professionals
