BACKGROUND: The number of organ transplants in South Korea has increased, with a notable rise in living donor transplants. Ensuring their long-term health and well-being is critical to address potential complications and maintain the success of the transplant programs.
METHODS: A diverse advisory panel, including transplant experts and coordinators, was established to evaluate the follow-up care for living donors. The panel reviewed the results of a brief survey of donors regarding their donation experience, follow-up programs, guidelines, and policies from South Korea and other countries, aiming to identify best practices and recommend improvements.
RESULTS: The study found that follow-up care for living donors in South Korea is inconsistent and lacks standardization. Significant variability exists in follow-up practices across different institutions, and comprehensive data on donor health pre- and post-donation are scarce. The need for continuous, systematic follow-up, encompassing both medical and psychological support, is emphasized to ensure donor well-being.
CONCLUSION: Improving follow-up care for living donors is essential. Establishing a national registry and increasing donor advocacy teams are meaningful steps to enhance donor care, ensure long-term health, and maintain ethical standards in organ donation.
