Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Renal transplantation is the standard of care for patients with end-stage renal disease. ere is concern regarding long-term health status of living kidney donors. A retrospective study of kidney donors who have donated kidneys three or more than three years are included in the study for the past 10years. All donors are evaluated with 24hr creatinine clearance, urinary protein excretion, ultrasound abdomen, DTPA renogram ,QOL and Psychosocial impact was assessed by SF-36 and HADS questionnaires. A total of 60 patients are included in the study, mean age of donors at donation was 37.8 years. All donors were normotensive at the time of donation and 6 were detected to have developed hypertension at follow up. None has renal failure, eight donors developed proteinuria, and mean increase in renal length was 1.09c.m .e quality of life in donors was almost similar in all age groups. We conclude that living kidney donation is a safe procedure with minimal complication rate in the long-term follow-up.
