  • Kidney transplant chains amplify benefit of nondirected donors.

    Melcher ML, Veale JL, Javaid B, Leeser DB, Davis CL, Hil G, Milner JE. JAMA Surg. 2013; 148 (2): 165-9

    Despite the potential for altruistic nondirected donors (NDDs) to trigger multiple transplants through nonsimultaneous transplant chains, concerns exist that these chains siphon NDDs from the deceased donor wait list and that donors within chains might not donate after their partner receives a transplant.
