Genetic testing in living kidney donor candidates
Genetic testing enables a more personalized and preventive approach to LKD evaluation. Ethical implementation requires genetic counseling, shared decision-making, and longitudinal follow-up. Ongoing research including registry data and long-term donor outcomes is essential to establish best practices for integrating genetic testing into LKD transplantation.
