Case description

Glomerular filtration rate of living kidney donor candidate must be appropriate to provide him sufficient filtration after unilateral nephrectomy and to ensure satisfactory renal graft function to recipient as well. Predictors for immediate function of living donor kidney transplant have not been well defined yet in the literature. Meanwhile, immediate graft function is well-known as closely related with better long-term outcome of transplantation procedure. The aim of the study was to analyse the impact of donor’s pre-donation estimated glomerular filtration rate on initial function of living donor kidney allograft. Analysed set consisted of 129 living kidney donors.
