Telemedicine support for people considering living kidney donation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized pilot feasibility trial at UC Irvine compares standard care with a telemedicine care coordination approach for registered living kidney donor candidates. Participants are randomly assigned to either a control arm (recorded video education plus an in-person donor evaluation and counseling) or an intervention arm (two live telemedicine video sessions for education and for donor evaluation/counseling). The study will measure practicality, acceptability, and whether telemedicine shared decision-making improves candidate engagement and decision-making during the evaluation process. Findings will provide preliminary data to guide wider use of telemedicine in living donor evaluation.
