Abstract
Due to the discrepancy between the increasing need of kidneys for transplantation and the continuously low numbers of brain dead donors, the possibility of living donor kidney transplantation is gaining importance. The indications and evaluation of donors in living donor kidney transplantation were investigated. The statistics of the German Organ Transplantation Foundation (DSO) were evaluated. The fundamental references in the literature and expert opinions are discussed. Living donor kidney transplantation is an excellent option for patients with end-stage kidney failure. A thorough evaluation of potential donors and their aftercare is indispensable. There is agreat potential to expand the living donor programs.
