The upper and lower age limits considered acceptable for kidney donation were variable, with six of 29 centres setting no lower age limit and 11 setting no upper age limit. Four centres do not currently offer living donor kidney transplantation. Of the 29 centres involved with living donor transplantation ten had no protocol for donor assessment. A dedicated transplant coordinator\/nurse practitioner was employed by 20 centres and ten routinely used an independent medical assessor to evaluate living related donors. The frequency and duration of donor follow-up after kidney donation also varied widely, with 18 centres providing life-time, seven limited and three no follow-up after initial postoperative assessment.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The wide variation in organizational structure and method of assessment of living kidney donors in the UK and Ireland supports the need for establishment of guidelines for this practice.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2168.1999.01167.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,11]],"date-time":"2003-03-11T07:08:59Z","timestamp":1047366539000},"page":"877-881","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Live kidney donor assessment in the UK and Ireland"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"J A","family":"Lumsdaine","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Unit, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh , Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9YW,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S J","family":"Wigmore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Unit, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh , Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9YW,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J L R","family":"Forsythe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Transplant Unit, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh , Lauriston Place, Edinburgh EH3 9YW,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,7,1]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"A Question of Give and Take; Improving the Supply of Donor Organs for Transplantation","year":"1994","author":"New","key":"2024093005102035300_bib1"},{"key":"2024093005102035300_bib2","first-page":"34","article-title":"The Eurotold project","volume":"3","author":"Price","year":"1998","journal-title":"Annals of Transplantation"},{"key":"2024093005102035300_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1016\/S0955-470X(05)80011-4","article-title":"The living-related donor \u2013 risks, benefits and related concerns","volume":"7","author":"Jones","year":"1993","journal-title":"Transplant Rev"},{"key":"2024093005102035300_bib4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"322","DOI":"10.1097\/00007890-199508270-00003","article-title":"Evaluation of living renal donors.
