Thoughts on Renal Transplantation from Living Relative Donors / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

The development of renal transplantation from living relative donors relives the shortage of transplanted organs,and benefits patients with end-stage renal diseases.However,when seen from the aspect of donors,implementing a non-therapeutic invasive surgical treatment on a healthy person still violates the absolute sound principle of medical ethics.To reduce the harm to the minimum,a comprehensive assessment should be conducted before the transplantation,and long-term follow-up observations after transplantation should also be strengthened.
