First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared 50,000 living kidney donors to similar healthy non-donors to see if donating a kidney raises the long-term risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. Researchers looked at health records from 1992 to 2024 in three Canadian provinces. The goal is to help doctors and donors make better-informed decisions about the risks of kidney donation.
