    Kidney donation does not harm remaining kidney function, even with compensatory hyperfiltration. However, long-term kidney donors show a higher prevalence of hypertension.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Transplantation Medicine
    • Cardiovascular Health

    Background:

    • Kidney donation involves the removal of one kidney, leaving the remaining kidney to compensate.
    • Compensatory hyperfiltration is a known physiological response in single-kidney individuals.
    • Long-term health outcomes for kidney donors require continued investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term effects of kidney donation on renal function.
    • To evaluate blood pressure trends in kidney donors over an extended period.
    • To understand the impact of compensatory hyperfiltration on kidney health post-donation.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 75 kidney donors over 20 years.
    • Comparison of pre- and post-nephrectomy renal function.

  • Monitoring of blood pressure in kidney donor subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • Renal function remained unaffected in the remaining kidney, despite prolonged compensatory hyperfiltration.
    • A higher prevalence of hypertension was observed in long-term kidney donors.
    • No adverse effects on kidney function were detected due to hyperfiltration.

    Conclusions:

    • Kidney donation is safe concerning the long-term function of the remaining kidney.
    • Compensatory hyperfiltration does not lead to adverse renal outcomes in kidney donors.
    • Kidney donors may be at increased risk for developing hypertension over time, necessitating monitoring.
