Importance Risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in kidney donors has been compared
with risk faced by the general population, but the general population represents an
unscreened, high-risk comparator. A comparison to similarly screened healthy nondonors
would more properly estimate the sequelae of kidney donation. Objectives To compare the
risk of ESRD in kidney donors with that of a healthy cohort of nondonors who are at equally
low risk of renal disease and free of contraindications to live donation and to stratify these …
