title: Design of a regulated system of compensation for living kidney donors.
abstract: The pros and cons of a regulated system of financial incentives for living donors are being actively debated. To date, a detailed proposal on how such a system could work has not been developed. Herein, the specifics of a potential model, using the infrastructure already in place for deceased donor evaluation and allocation, are outlined.
