The project will establish a validated strategy for the living donor follow-up by:

• Designing living donor follow-up tools and methodologies, based on a survey of current practices, considering the psychosocial well-being, quality of life and perception of the process to evaluate the impact of the donation process on the donor.
• Designing a recipient follow-up methodology, based on a survey of current practices, using the best indicators with the purpose to link recipient’s outcome to the living donor’s follow-up.
• Testing the methodology and tools developed in the partners' countries in a prospective study during a period of 15 months. The study will be designed to compare the psychosocial well-being and quality of life of the donors before and after donation, and in this way study the impact of the donation process. The impact of the recipient’s outcome on the well-being of the donor will also be addressed.
• Testing the methodology and tools developed in a retrospective study, assessing the long-term impact of donation and the impact of the recipient’s outcome on the donor. Psychosocial well-being, quality of life and impact of recipient’s outcome data will be collected for a period of 15 months from donors who donated one, three and five years age.
