Proposal for Informed Consent for Kidney Paired Donation
Proposal Overview
Sponsoring Committee: Kidney Transplantation Committee
The Proposal for Informed Consent for Kidney Paired Donation proposes required elements for informed consent for paired candidates and donors participating in any KPD program. The proposal requires transplant programs registering the paired candidates and donors to inform KPD participants of the risks and benefits of participating in the KPD program and the logistics of the KPD program's matching process, including prioritization information and consequences of shipping kidneys. It also includes additional informed consent elements for non-directed donors (NDDs) and bridge donors participating in any KPD program. These informed consent requirements are intended to be supplemental and additional to the requirements required in Policy 14.3: Informed Consent Requirements.
