Primary source: SOLKID-GNR German Living Donor Registry (Frontiers in Medicine 2026, PMID 42359096), N=1,237 donors across 32 centers — a “healthy donor selection effect” (higher QoL, fewer psych impairments than general population) with pre-op psychosocial stress and low resilience as risk flags inside that healthy group. Secondary: South India tertiary-care study (Kidney Medicine 2026, PMID 42179808), N=69 — post-donation anxiety 10.1% and depression 4.3% overall, with worse outcomes for donors over 50 and those with medical complications.
