Living kidney donation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease; however, the surgical procedure poses a potential risk to donors.

To investigate the incidence and characterize the severity of perioperative complications in living kidney donors, MOTSRTP senior research trainee Britney Feng conducted an observational study on a large contemporary cohort of Canadian living kidney donors by classifying their surgical complications based on the Modified Clavien-Dino grading system.

ABOUT LIVING DONATION WEEK
Living organ donation offers a shorter pathway to better health with a considerably shorter wait time and better health outcomes for those awaiting a liver or kidney transplant. Yet many people are not aware of living donation.

Living Donation Week is an annual awareness week featuring free events and activities focused on raising awareness, improving access and equity in living organ donation, profiling the work of Team Transplant, and celebrating our incredible living donors and transplant recipients. It was launched by the Centre for Living Organ Donation in 2020 and is held annually, starting the Sunday after Labour Day.
