AB Living  organ  donation  has  been  a  pillar  of  transplantation  since  its  inception.  The  earliest  attempt  at  live  donor  kidney  transplant,  as  we  know  it  now,  was  performed  in  Paris,  in  1953,  by  the  team  of  Jean  Hamburger,  where  a  mother  donated  a  kidney  to  her  son.  The  son  had  developed  renal  failure  after  removal  of  his  solitary  kidney  following  severe  traumatic  injury.  No  immunosuppression  was  used,  and  the  graft  had  satisfactory  function  for  3  weeks  before  being  rejected,  and  the  recipient  eventually  died.
