Living kidney donors adapt well after nephrectomy, showing lasting increases in kidney function. Careful long-term monitoring is essential due to potential microalbuminuria.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation immunology
  • Physiology

Context:

  • Living donor kidney transplantation is crucial due to a shortage of cadaveric donors.
  • Understanding donor adaptation post-nephrectomy is vital for recipient and donor safety.
  • This study investigates the long-term physiological changes in living kidney donors.

Purpose:

  • To assess the long-term adaptation of kidney function in living kidney donors after nephrectomy.
  • To identify factors influencing post-nephrectomy renal function.
  • To evaluate the reliability of standard markers for assessing donor kidney adaptation.

Summary:

  • Ninety-nine living kidney donors underwent evaluation of kidney function using reference methods post-nephrectomy.
  • Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) showed significant, sustained increases (40% and 33%, respectively).

  • Age, pre-surgery GFR, and protein intake influenced post-nephrectomy GFR; serum creatinine/creatinine clearance analysis was misleading for late function assessment. Few donors showed increased microalbuminuria.

    • Impact:

    • Provides crucial data on the long-term physiological consequences of living kidney donation.
    • Highlights the importance of considering donor-specific factors in assessing kidney function post-donation.
    • Emphasizes the need for meticulous, long-term follow-up of living kidney donors, including monitoring for microalbuminuria.
