Reasons and effects of the decline of willing related potential living kidney donors

Table 3 Patient characteristics distributed per extent and outcome of evaluation of their potential living donors presented as total patients (n = 212) and as a comparison between patients with candidate (n = 74) and patients with non-candidate (n = 138) potential living donors.

¹The numbers here refer to the number of potential living donors who had this characteristic. In addition, it included 10 potential donors who were not evaluated, and they presented here as part of the combined donors to the same patients with evaluated donors. PLD: Potential living donor; SD: Standard deviation.
