Abstract
Undocumented immigrants treated with dialysis in the United States are relatively young and healthy, and many have at least one potential living kidney donor. Given the societal cost-savings associated with transplant, we suggest that policy makers should consider extending coverage to pay for living donor transplant for undocumented immigrants with end-stage renal disease.
