@living_donor @KessarisN @GoshRenal@BTStransplant@dr_JelaS @NizamMamode And the other even crazy idea was to put all living donors into a matching scheme. I think this would be an interesting thought experiment and a good idea for computer simulation and ethical debate.
@living_donor @KessarisN @GoshRenal@BTStransplant@dr_JelaS @NizamMamode Exactly. That was the thought provoking question I posed to the audience. Is it worth it if you have a 3 mismatch (including hla class 2) to go into a scheme and try to get a better match?

Interesting article on risk of #ESRD after #childhood#kidneydisease without obv impairment. As a paediatrician I reinforce to parents/patients the need for annual life-long BP and urinalysis (esp if not transitioning to adults) but do we need more for high risk patients? https://t.co/yZrrShb8Ap

A good moment to commemorate the pioneering work by Dr Joseph Murray and the brave Herrick twins. Let’s not forget donor surgeon Hartwell Harrison and nephrologist John Merrill.
