Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Non-donors/controls - Healthy normotensive people who have not donated a kidney including relatives or friends of the donor, or candidates who were ineligible to donate due to blood group or cross-match incompatibility. These non-donor/controls must meet all screening criteria (same as standard criteria donors).

Living Kidney Donors - Living kidney donors who went on to donate their kidney. All donors were recruited and are divided into 2 groups:

1. Standard criteria donors (meet all screening criteria)
2. Expanded-criteria donors (did not meet one or more of the screening criteria)

Expanded criteria donors will be examined in a separate protocol and analysis.

OR

* Meet study eligibility for controls (non-donors) as follows:

Be between the ages of 18 and 70 years

Meet blood pressure criteria as follows:

* Blood pressure <140 mmHg systolic and <90 mmHg diastolic based on an average of at least 3 blood pressure measurements taken during the recruitment interview, or an average blood pressure < 140 mmHg systolic and < 90 mmHg diastolic based on a minimum of 12 readings taken at home.
