Apolipoprotein L1 Gene Genotype and Kidney Outcomes After Living Kidney Donation
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the association between apolipoprotein L1 gene (APOL1) polymorphisms and kidney function outcomes following living kidney donation. Their findings indicate that Black kidney donors with high-risk APOL1 genotypes are at a significantly increased risk of developing reduced kidney function post-donation, suggesting that APOL1 genotyping should be considered for Black living donor candidates to improve risk assessment.
