- danso 10y agoAccording to the author: > The truth is, it is hard to get good numbers about what happens to donors. Hospitals are required to follow them for only two years post-donation, which does not catch such long-term complications as chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular issues or psychiatric issues. There is no national registry for kidney donors or other large-scale means of tracking long-term outcomes. That's surprising to me. Seems like it's one of the easier things to track. Though what is the status quo for health tracking beyond chronic diseases?
