BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation is the best mode of kidney replacement therapy. However, the shortage of organ donations has been a major challenge globally. Relatives of patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are potential kidney donors. We explored their perspectives about kidney donation, kidney commercialisation, and barriers to kidney donation.
METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted among 28 relatives of ESKD patients across the six geopolitical zones and Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. The interview focused on potential sources of kidney donors, kidney commercialisation and barriers to kidney donation. ATLAS.ti version 9.0.22.0 was used for data analysis.
RESULTS: Mean age of the study participants was 41.57 ± 14.55 years; 54% were females, 60.7% were married, 93% had tertiary education and 75% were first degree relatives of ESKD patients. There were 7 themes and 28 subthemes generated in this study. The potential sources of kidney donors identified by the study participants included commercial, hospital, family and non-family member donors. While some opined that a family member is the best choice as a kidney donor, others preferred a commercial donor. The majority of those interviewed do not believe that it is wrong to purchase a kidney, and would be willing to do so. Identified factors that promote kidney commercialisation were unwillingness of a family member to donate, having the financial capacity to purchase a kidney, non-fitness of family members to donate. Identified barriers to kidney donation were age, poor health status, polygamy, perceived poor expertise of the medical team, perceived risk of the procedure, parental influence and religious beliefs.
CONCLUSIONS: The majority of participants lacked correct information about kidney donation. Implementation of educational program policies and laws regulating and reinforcing ethical principles of kidney donation and transplantation should be ensured.
