Safety and Efficacy of Kidney Transplants From Older Adult Living Donors: A Comparative Analysis of Donor and Recipient Outcomes.

Objectives: We investigated the safety of donor nephrectomy from older adult donors (age ≥60 years), as well as long-term donor, recipient, and graft outcomes.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 307 living donor kidney transplants from 1996 to 2016 and defined 2 cohorts based on donor age. Cohort A comprised donors aged 60 years and older, and cohort B comprised donors from 18 to 59 years old.
