Kidney transplantation from living donors is increasingly encouraged because of its excellent results. Live nephrectomy exposes the surgeon to a challenge and must consider ways to minimize morbidity and mortality linked to the operation. Many studies have described the positive aspect for the donor, mainly the physical impact of kidney donation which does not put the donor at risk of physical deterioration, but what about the psychological aspect after donnation. The main objective of our study is to describe the impact of kidney donation on the quality of life of donors and to determine the psychological and social effects of donation using an evaluation based on a questionnaire established by our team.
