In most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa, kidney transplant programs are dependent on the willingness of relatives of patients with kidney failure to donate kidneys.
This study assessed the attitudes of relatives of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) toward kidney donation.
This was a cross-sectional survey of relatives of patients with CKD attending the nephrology service of our hospital.
The respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge and beliefs about kidney transplantation, as well as their willingness to donate a kidney, were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire.
There were 161 respondents who returned completed questionnaires; the mean age of the respondents was 34.8 ± 12.6 years and 52.2% of them were female.
About 85.1% of the respondents were aware that kidney transplantation was a treatment option for end-stage renal failure, while 70% of them believed that kidney transplantation resulted in an improvement in the quality of life of these patients.
However, 25.5 % of the respondents believed that kidney donors were at risk of developing kidney failure in the future.
Overall, 77.6 % of the respondents were willing to donate a kidney, especially if the affected individual was their offspring.
The majority of the respondents were willing to donate a kidney to a relative with CKD.
