Abstract: Background: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO CRD42023480478) regarding the impact of kidney donation on arterial stiffness indices such as pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx), along with its effect on blood pressure. Methods: We searched for publications related to kidney/renal donors, arterial stiffness, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk, and included every study employing those terms. A p-value
