Abstract:
Kidney transplantation (KT) is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease. This paper discusses a case where a donated kidney lacking a fibrous capsule was carefully utilized for transplantation. The organ underwent rigorous evaluation and received approval from the ethics committee, with full informed consent obtained from the recipient and their family. Although surface bleeding of the kidney occurred during the operation and was challenging to control, the recipient was successfully discharged 22 days post-transplantation. In conclusion, kidneys lacking a fibrous capsule can be safely used for transplantation after careful evaluation.
