NCT ID NCT07254546
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

This study interviews 15 people who have donated a kidney to understand their feelings about receiving a symbolic token of gratitude, like a commemorative medal. Researchers want to learn if such recognition could improve donors' experience and encourage more donations. The study is purely observational and does not test any treatment.
