Older Donors and Older Recipients: Rethinking Risk, Benefit, and Access in Kidney Transplantation
Hosted by the AST Trainee and Young Faculty Community of Practice (TYF COP) and supported by the AST Kidney Pancreas Community of Practice (KPCOP).
Description:
With the aging of both the transplant candidate population and the donor pool, clinicians increasingly face complex decisions regarding organ acceptance, candidate selection, and risk–benefit tradeoffs. Practices vary widely across centers, and clinicians would benefit from a structured framework to navigate these challenges. This webinar will provide a practical, evidence-based, and ethically grounded approach to decision-making in older donors and recipients, with emphasis on real-world clinical application.
