The organ shortage remains a major barrier to renal transplantation in the United States. Living unrelated kidney donors help to alleviate this problem. The current literature supports the use of living unrelated donors for kidney transplantation. This approach helps to reduce the cadaveric graft shortage and may improve results. A uremic patient should not be obligated to wait for a cadaveric kidney when a willing motivated living unrelated donor exists.
