Summary

This study looked at 50,000 living kidney donors in Canada to see if they have a higher risk of heart problems or death later in life compared to similar people who didn't donate. Researchers used health records from 1992 to 2024 to track heart attacks, strokes, and deaths. The goal is to help doctors and donors make better-informed decisions about the long-term safety of kidney donation.
