Abstract
Kidney transplantation from living donors is particularly under-developed in France in comparison with the US and most European countries. Among others, the lack of a proactive and evidence-based communication from French health providers is a potential cause that has been overlooked thus far. With this as a backdrop, the SFNDT Commission of transplantation has elaborated a 10 points-call for promoting living kidney transplantation in France in 2023 with the aims at (1) providing the entire nephrology community with a scientific rationale and (2) strenghtening the conviction of health providers, patients, and their relatives regarding the relevance of this modality of kidney transplantation.
