Episode 28: Behind the Paper: Antiobesity Interventions in Living Organ Donor Candidates | Behind the Paper

In this episode of Behind the Paper, Macey Levan, Social Media Editor for the Transplantation journals, speaks with Babak J. Orandi, MD, about the article: Antiobesity Interventions in Living Organ Donor Candidates: Ethical and Policy Considerations The discussion focuses on the ethical and policy questions raised by antiobesity interventions for living organ donor candidates. Dr. Orandi explains how obesity can affect donor eligibility and why weight management should be approached as long-term care rather than simply meeting a temporary BMI threshold to enable donation. The episode explores the four major principles of bioethics — autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice — and how they apply to living donor evaluation. Dr. Orandi also discusses the growing role of GLP-1 medications, access to treatment, donor safety, and legal and ethical concerns related to funding weight-loss interventions before donation. The conversation highlights the importance of sustainable obesity management, better long-term follow-up data, and updated guidance from transplant societies as antiobesity therapies become more widely used.
