Description
Amanda Leonberg-Yoo and co-authors followed living kidney donors in 2026 to track pain and opioid use after surgery. Donors give a kidney while healthy, so their comfort and safe drug use matter a great deal. The team used an auto text-message system to poll donors from discharge to day twenty-eight. The study ran at one large center in Pennsylvania, for donors treated from 2021 to 2023.
Seventy-five donors took part, about seven in ten of those asked. Pain scores sat at a mid level on day four and fell to near one by day twenty-one. Felt control of pain hit the top of the scale by day fourteen. By then, few donors still used opioids. The team urges leaner default drug orders at discharge.
