| dc.description.abstract | In the context of projections for Latin America, the Guayaquil Document is expected to serve as a crucial reference framework for establishing policies that ensure financial neutrality in the region. As we move towards 2030, countries in the area will likely adopt stricter measures to ensure donors do not incur economic losses from their altruistic decisions. Considering the recent legislative proposal from the United States—the End Kidney Deaths Act (H.R. 9275, 118th Congress)—which proposes a $50,000 tax deduction for living kidney donors ($10,000 annually for five years), the signing societies express their deep ethical, legal, and social concerns. Although the project states its purpose of reducing mortality from chronic kidney disease (CKD), its implementation sets a precedent that contradicts the universal principles of altruistic donation and financial neutrality enshrined in the Istanbul Declaration (2018) and the WHO Guiding Principles (2010). This document alerts health authorities, legislators, ethics committees, medical societies, and international organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean to the risks that such initiatives may pose to more fragile systems, eroding public trust and compromising distributive justice and human dignity. This document has been consensually agreed upon and approved by all nephrology societies in Latin America that comprise SLANH during the XXI Congress of SLANH, held in Guayaquil, Ecuador, from August 27 to 30, 2025. It has also been subscribed, discussed, consensually agreed upon, and approved by the transplant societies of Latin America and the Caribbean that form STALYC during the XXVI Latin American and Caribbean Transplant Congress and the V Paraguayan Transplant Congress, held in Asunción, Paraguay, from October 1 to 3, 2025. | eng |
| dc.description.abstract | En el contexto de las proyecciones de América Latina, se anticipa que el Documento de Guayaquil sirva como un marco de referencia crucial para establecer políticas que aseguren la neutralidad financiera en dicho ámbito. A medida que se avanza hacia el año 2030, se espera que los países de la región adopten medidas más estrictas para garantizar que los donantes vivos no enfrenten pérdidas económicas derivadas de su decisión altruista. Ante la reciente propuesta legislativa de los Estados Unidos —End Kidney Deaths Act (H.R. 9275, 118.º Congreso)— que plantea una deducción fiscal total de 50.000 USD para donantes vivos de riñón (10.000 USD anuales durante cinco años), las sociedades firmantes expresan su profunda preocupación ética, legal y social. Aunque el proyecto declara la finalidad de reducir la mortalidad por enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), su implementación establece un precedente que contradice los principios universales de la donación altruista y de la neutralidad financiera consagrados en la Declaración de Estambul (2018) y en los Principios Rectores de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) (2010). El presente documento alerta a las autoridades sanitarias, legisladores, comités de ética, sociedades científicas y organismos internacionales de América Latina y el Caribe sobre los riesgos que dichas iniciativas pueden generar en sistemas más frágiles, erosionando la confianza pública y comprometiendo la justicia distributiva y la dignidad humana. Este documento ha sido consensuado y aprobado por las sociedades de nefrología de América Latina que conforman la Sociedad Latinoamericana de Nefrología e Hipertensión (SLANH) durante el XXI Congreso de la SLANH, celebrado en Guayaquil (Ecuador) del 27 al 30 de agosto de 2025. Asimismo, ha sido suscrito, discutido, consensuado y aprobado por las sociedades de trasplante de América Latina y el Caribe que conforman STALYC) durante el XXVI Congreso Latinoamericano y del Caribe de Trasplante y el V Congreso Paraguayo de Trasplante, celebrados en Asunción, (Paraguay) del 1 al 3 de octubre de 2025. | spa |
