Selective Recruitment of
Autoimmune-Induced Neutrophils
The decline in living donor transplantation in the United States after 2005 is
unexplained. In this issue, Gill et al. examined the association between donor
income and longitudinal changes in living kidney donation using zip code and
income data for all living donors in the United States. In adjusted
linear regression models, the rate of living donation from 1999 to
2004 increased in all income quintiles, but from 2005 to 2010,
living donation increased only in the highest income quintile
and declined in the three lowest quintiles. This information should
prompt a discussion regarding policies to reduce nancial barriers
to living kidney donation. See Gill et al., pages 201207.
