Session Information

Session Name: Kidney Living Donor: Long Term Outcomes

Session Type: Poster Abstract

Date: Saturday, June 4, 2022

Session Time: 5:30pm-7:00pm

 Presentation Time: 5:30pm-7:00pm

Location: Hynes Halls C & D

*Purpose: Due to the profound organ shortage, number of living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) from elder living donor (LD) is increasing. However, there has been no reports investigating the LDs aged 75 years and older. We investigated the impact of donor nephrectomy on the LDs aged 75 years and older.

*Methods: Between January 2008 and December 2019, a total of 1134 LDKT was performed and included in this study. LDs were stratified into 2 groups; 40 LDs aged 75 years and older (LD≧75) and 1094 LDs aged less than 75 years (LD<75). Operative results, postoperative eGFR, incidence of end stage renal disease, and mortality rate of LDs were compared between LD≧75 and LD<75.

*Results: Operative results of donors including warm ischemic time, operation time, blood loss, and incidence of perioperative and postoperative adverse events showed no significant difference. eGFR of LD≧75 was significantly lower than those of LD<75.

No end stage renal disease was identified in both groups. The mortality rate of both groups showed no significant difference.

*Conclusions: Donor nephrectomy can be performed safely for the LDs aged 75 years and older.
