Potential donors with congenital renal anomalies but normal renal function are often overlooked because of a possible increase in technical difficulty and complications associated with the surgery. However, as the waiting list for a deceased donor kidney transplant continues to grow, it is important to consider these kidneys for potential transplant.

The transplant was uncomplicated, and the graft had immediate function. The patient is now two years from transplant with excellent function.
