About

Henry B. Randall is a leading researcher in transplant surgery, with a focused expertise in living kidney donation and perioperative outcomes. His work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of donor safety, particularly through large-scale national analyses. Randall’s landmark 2015 study, “Perioperative Complications After Living Kidney Donation: A National Study,” which has garnered over 150 citations, provided critical, population-level data on complication rates, establishing a benchmark for clinical practice and informed consent. He further broke new ground by identifying predonation prescription opioid use as a novel risk factor for hospital readmission after nephrectomy, a finding published in 2016 that has reshaped preoperative screening protocols. By integrating national transplant registry data with pharmacy claims and hospital records, Randall has pioneered a methodological approach that reveals hidden risks in donor populations. His work directly impacts the safety and long-term well-being of living kidney donors, making him a key voice in the ongoing effort to optimize outcomes and minimize complications in this life-saving procedure.
