Core Tip Even though living kidney donation has existed for over 60 years, there has been limited systematic collection of information related to the long-term health of donors. Establishing a distinct medical specialty called donor medicine is a moral obligation that will also encourage more living kidney donation. Donor medicine will also provide a framework for donor-centered care and rigorous long-term follow up.
