Living kidney donors (LKDs) may feel more anxious about kidney failure now that
they have only one kidney and the security of a second kidney is gone. The aim of
this cross-sectional study was to develop and empirically validate a self-report
scale for assessing fear of kidney failure in former LKDs. Participants were 364
former LKDs within the past 10 years at five US transplant centers and 219
healthy nondonor controls recruited through Mechanical Turk who completed several
questionnaires. Analyses revealed a unidimensional factor structure, excellent
internal consistency (? = 0.88), and good convergent validity for the Fear of
Kidney Failure questionnaire. Only 13% of former donors reported moderate to high
fear of kidney failure. Nonwhite race (OR = 2.9, P = 0.01), genetic relationship
with the recipient (OR = 2.46, P = 0.04), and low satisfaction with the donation
experience (OR = 0.49, P = 0.002) were significant predictors of higher fear of
kidney failure. We conclude that while mild anxiety about kidney failure is
common, high anxiety about future renal failure among former LKDs is uncommon.
The Fear of Kidney Failure questionnaire is reliable, valid, and easy to use in
the clinical setting.
