Abstrakt: Transplantation remains the gold-standard treatment for pediatric end-stage kidney disease. While living donor transplant is the preferred option for most pediatric patients, it is not the right choice for all. For those who have the option to choose between deceased donor and living donor transplantation, or from among multiple potential living donors, the transplant clinician must weigh multiple dynamic factors to identify the most optimal donor. This review will cover the key considerations when choosing between potential living donors and will propose a decision-making algorithm.
