Miscommunicating NOTA Can Be Costly to Living Donors.

چکیده
Misconceptions about whether and how living donors may receive financial support appear to be widespread. These misconceptions may be perpetuated by unclear or incomplete language in informed consent documents. Without accurate written information about the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 (NOTA) (1), donors may forgo legal financial support and question their decision to donate. The financial burden of evaluation and donation (2) may disproportionately affect vulnerable populations. We recommend that the removal of financial disincentives begin by disclosing explicit and accurate information regarding available mechanisms to defray donors’ costs.
