Individual differences in personality profiles among potential living kidney transplant donors.

Background: Although the psychological assessment of potential living kidney donors (PLKD) is part of the recommendations for action for any transplant coordination, there are not many studies that provide data about the importance of selecting donors for improving transplant outcomes. This work aims to raise awareness of potential kidney donors by designing methods for early detection of potential problems after the transplant, as well as by selecting the most suitable donors.

Methods: This is a study of 25 PLKD drawn from the General University Hospital of Alicante.
