Several ethical issues may impact the provision of kidney care for women, including issues relating to gender bias and discrimination, and ethically complex decision-making about pregnancy and reproductive care in the setting of dialysis, transplantation, or kidney donation.
Through these series of didactic talks and workshop learners will benefit from the expert guidance of Prof. Dominique Martin and her peers on:
• Identify and discuss a range of ethical issues and considerations that may arise in the provision of kidney care and reproductive health for women
• Become familiar with strategies to promote respect for women’s autonomy in decision-making about kidney care and reproductive health
• Recognize factors that may increase the risk of gender bias and discrimination in kidney care for women
This course is targeted at nephrology trainees, general nephrologists, transplant nephrologists and transplant surgeons or surgical trainees. It is also of interest to bioethicists, allied health practitioners, nurses, physicians and students who wish to understand women’s health and nephrology.

This presentation provides an introduction to ethical considerations and factors that may complicate ethical analysis and decision-making in the context of kidney care for women. Some ethical concepts and principles which may be relevant to ethical issues that can arise during kidney care for women will be briefly explained, including reproductive autonomy, moral status and paternalism. Strategies to assist in identifying potential ethical issues or considerations in the provision of kidney care for women will be presented.
Learning objectives:
1. Recognize the disproportion of female living kidney donors compared to male donors as a worldwide phenomenon.
2. Weigh the reasons that motivate women to donate in a disproportionate manner: social, educational, cultural, etc. These aspects merit international prospective studies.
3. Avoid coercion or paternalism during the evaluation of the potential female kidney donor. This merits knowing what the international guidelines indicate in relation to the risks and benefits as well as the importance of explaining them to the patients in order to make a perfectly informed decision.
