Consequences of Selling a Kidney in India

Since this article does not have an abstract, we have provided the first 113 words of the full text and any section headings.

To the Editor: Dr Goyal and colleagues¹ found that the fee paidto kidney donors in India was insufficient to lift them outof poverty. This is not a surprising finding and is certainlynot unique to kidney donation. The financial impact of a monetaryreward will depend on its amount in relation to the extent ofthe donor's debt and also on the donor's ability to manage hisor her finances. It is likely that members of any impoverishedgroup would fail to improve their financial condition if theywere suddenly given a sum of money without any guidance or assistancein managing it.
