Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: telemedicine shared decision-making
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that telemedicine is a practical way to support living kidney donor candidates, potentially improving access to education and counseling.
What could go wrong: This is a small feasibility study with only 70 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It focuses on decision-making, not medical outcomes.
