Reassessing medical risk in living kidney donors.
The short- and long-term effects of unilateral nephrectomy on living donors have been important considerations for 60 years. Short-term risk is well established (0.03% mortality and <1% risk of major morbidity), but characterization of long-term risk is evolving. Relative to the general population, risk of mortality, ESRD, hypertension, proteinuria, and cardiovascular disease is comparable or l...

Whether the same is true in those with reduced renal mass from living kidney donation is unknown. METHODS We conducted a population-based matched cohort study of all living kidney donors in the province of Ontario, Canada who underwent donor nephrectomy from 1992 t...

This process also helps assess the quality and safety of the organs donated to the recipients. While all programs share these goals, donor selection criteria vary significantly among U.S. transplant centers. In part...
متن کاملMeta-analysis: risk for hypertension in living kidney donors.
BACKGROUND The risk for hypertension after kidney donation remains uncertain. PURPOSE To see whether normotensive adults who donate a kidney develop higher blood pressure and risk for hypertension compared with nondonor adults acting as control participants. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index were searched from 1966 until November 2005 for articles published in any lan...
متن کاملRisk factors have special relevance for living kidney donors.
Sir, Awareness of modifiable risk factors for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) 1,2 is likely to be of great benefit to living kidney donors, so as to reduce the risk of complications such as hypertension and diabetes, which hasten the onset of ESRD. 1,2 The risk of hypertension can be mitigated through lifestyle counselling, which includes dietary advice, weight management and regular exercise, 3...
