Popis:	The lack of kidneys for transplantation is a worldwide problem. Different efforts to expand the donor pool have been made. One of them has been the acceptance of altruistic nondirected living kidney donors. This concept was first published by Matas et al. in 2000. Since then, several centres in the United States have started programmes with altruistic nondirected donors (NDD) for kidney transplantation. The use of NDD is still very controversial and rare in Europe. In Sweden, an NDD programme was initiated by the Swedish Transplantation Society in 2004. This article addresses central issues involved with NDD and describes our experiences with the programme so far at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Goteborg, Sweden.
