[ Summary ] |
The indications for living-donor kidney donation have expanded in terms of donor medical status as well as human leukocyte antigen matching, and ABO blood type (ABO) incompatibility, As a result, emphasizing donor shortages is necessary. Because hypertension and diabetes may impair the function of the remaining single kidney after donation, living kidney donors need to be selected carefully. Our retrospective investigation revealed that the short- and long-term outcome for previous kidney donors were satisfactorily accepted. |
