Remnant kidney function and size in living unrelated kidney donors after nephrectomy.

There are few published reports examining the extended outcome of donors after nephrectomy. The aim of present prospective study was to evaluate the changes of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and ultrasonographic kidney size in unrelated living kidney donors during post-nephrectomy period. Thirty nine unrelated living kidney donors were prospectively followed after nephrectomy.
