Description
Abbasi and Prasad argue that care of living kidney donors deserves its own field, which they call donor medicine. New medical fields grow from organ systems, new tools, or groups of diseases. Donor medicine sits where medicine, surgery, public health, and the humanities meet. Unlike care for recipients, it does not center on immune suppression. Donors start in fine health with a normal life span ahead.
The authors review body changes after donation, from lost kidney units to higher blood pressure. They list risks such as kidney disease, protein in urine, and strain in pregnancy. Money and mental health burdens also count. They urge long-term follow-up for people who give a kidney freely.
