Major National Study Will Follow 400 Patients to Find Out
By web@mediasourcetv.com, published Jun 11, 2007The number of people who are stepping forward to donate a kidney has shot up over 60% in the last 10 years. Thanks to those living donors, transplant patients can lead relatively healthy lives. But what about the donors themselves?

Now, a massive nationwide study is underway to see how big and how real that risk to donors really is.
