Long-term risks for kidney donors.

Previous studies have suggested that living kidney donors maintain long-term renal function and experience no increase in cardiovascular or all-cause mortality. However, most analyses have included control groups less healthy than the living donor population and have had relatively short follow-up periods. Here we compared long-term renal function and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in l...

Perioperative and Long-Term Safety of Living Kidney Donors

Long term effects of kidney donation on blood pressure and kidney function of donors

Introduction: Kidney transplantation from a live donor has many advantages, but the donor should undergo a major surgery and accept potential morbidity and mortality. In this study, we evaluated the long term effects of nephrectomy on renal function and blood pressure of kidney donors. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we assessed 195 kidney donors.

Long-term Outcomes of Kidney Function in Living Kidney Donors – The Gothenburgh Experience

Background: It is important to increase knowledge about and devote more attention to long-term living kidney donors. Although we have used living donors for over 40 years, they have not, until recently, undergone regular check-ups. Material and methods: A total of 1100 living donor nephrectomies were performed at our hospital from 1965-2005. We located the donors, assessed their general health ...
