Abstract

Kidney transplantation is the ideal treatment for patients with end-stage kidney disease as it provides better survival and quality of life. The best form is living donor kidney transplantation. Numerous studies documented significant gender inequality when it comes to receiving or donating a kidney transplant among women. This article will summarize the present knowledge of gender-related kidney transplantation and discuss the potential causes for the observed disparities and their consequences.
