Study evaluates why blacks do not successfully donate kidneys

an men did not donate because of reduced renal function, at 7.9 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively. Also, more women (6.4 percent) than men (1.8 percent) were excluded due to not completing the process.

"I did find this kind of surprising because more women successfully donate than men, at a rate of 58 percent versus 42 percent," said Reeves-Daniel.

"We hope all of these results will help with understanding so we can recruit successful donors in the future."
