摘要: BACKGROUND Unspecified (nondirected altruistic) kidney donation is becoming increasingly common in the United Kingdom. Questions regarding motivation and characteristics of these donors persist, alongside concerns about regret long-term psychosocial outcomes. The aims this study were to compare physical outcomes unspecified (UKDs) versus specified (SKDs). METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study, which detailed assessment was made using validated questionnaires. Additional questions specific also asked, including motivation, regret, anonymity. RESULTS One hundred ninety responses received from 296 participants studied (110 UKDs [74.3%] vs. 80 SKDs [54.1%], P 0.05). more engaged other altruistic behaviours (P<0.001). There no difference outcomes, although recovered quicker Regret low (3.7% 7.5% SKDs; P=0.078). CONCLUSION This has demonstrated that have comparable SKDs. These favorable may be, part, because rigorous evaluation process currently includes mental health assessment. conclude program can continue expand safely across
