Summary

Living kidney donors experience significant hyperfiltration and hyperperfusion after uninephrectomy. While blood pressure remained stable, some donors developed microalbuminuria, warranting further monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplant Surgery
  • Physiology

Context:

  • Living kidney donation involves uninephrectomy.
  • Assessing long-term renal health in living donors is crucial.
  • Understanding compensatory renal mechanisms post-nephrectomy is important.

Purpose:

  • To quantify hyperfiltration and hyperperfusion after uninephrectomy in living related kidney donors.
  • To monitor for potential adverse renal outcomes such as hypertension, microalbuminuria, and renal functional impairment.

Summary:

  • Standard inulin and PAH clearance tests were conducted before and after nephrectomy in 23 living donors.
  • One week post-nephrectomy, hyperfiltration averaged 134% and hyperperfusion 138%.
  • One year post-nephrectomy, hyperfiltration remained elevated (130%), while hyperperfusion decreased (119%). No new hypertension cases were observed, but two donors developed microalbuminuria.

Impact:

  • Kidney donation leads to sustained hyperfiltration but a decrease in hyperperfusion over one year.
  • Living kidney donors do not show increased hypertension post-nephrectomy.
  • Microalbuminuria emerged as a potential concern in some donors, necessitating continued surveillance.
