The Consequences of Chronic Kidney Disease Mislabeling in Living Kidney Donors
The Consequences of Chronic Kidney Disease Mislabeling in Living Kidney Donors MAYO CLINIC PROCEEDINGS Lenihan, C. R., Tan, J. C. 2014; 89 (8): 1126-1129Abstract
Despite numerous studies that substantiate its long-term safety, barriers to kidney donation persist. These include issues of insurability after donation and its consequent financial and emotional burdens.

A concerted effort should be made to affect public policy such that insurability and the psychosocial well-being of living donors are protected.
