More than ever, efficient evaluation of potential living kidney donors is needed.

In this issue, Habbous et al. reported that simultaneously evaluating multiple potential living kidney donors for the same intended recipient, rather than sequentially, is more effective and less expensive. This important study highlighted how quicker living kidney donor evaluations benefit patients and lower costs by reducing time spent on dialysis. Given the backlog precipitated by the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, devoting resources to ensure efficient living kidney donor evaluations is a better investment than ever before.
