Purpose Of Review: To review the current studies and guidelines on the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in female kidney donors.
Recent Findings: Living kidney donors include a significant amount of young women of child-bearing age. Safety and possible risks of pregnancy after donation are a concern for female kidney donor candidates. Many current studies indicate a higher risk of preeclampsia in women after kidney donation. Considering the increasing number of living kidney donors, the maternal outcomes of living kidney donation is an active area of research.
Summary: Guidelines and consensus statements on the risk of pregnancy in living kidney donors recommend close monitoring of blood pressure, weight gain, and proteinuria during pregnancy. Current studies indicate an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in living kidney donors. Counseling and informing donor candidates about the possible risks is important.

Iron management and exercise training in individuals with chronic kidney disease: lived experiences.
Clin Kidney J
January 2025
Department of Population Health Sciences, University of Leicester, Leicester, UK.
Background: Non-anaemic iron deficiency is highly prevalent in people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but is underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in earlier stages of CKD. A multicentre trial assessing the effect of intravenous iron supplementation in iron-deficiency but not anaemic people with CKD included a qualitative sub-study that aimed to explore the patient experience and psychosocial impact of living with CKD and iron deficiency, and the experience of the therapeutic intervention (intravenous iron and exercise).
Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 trial participants blinded to treatment.
Baseline Characteristics of Frailty and Disease Stage in Older People Living With CKD.

Australian Frailty Network, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia.
Introduction: The GOAL trial, a cluster randomized controlled trial, investigated the effect of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) on frail older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This paper describes the following: (i) participant baseline characteristics, and (ii) their relationship with CKD stage and frailty severity.
Methods: Sixteen kidney outpatient clinics (clusters) were randomly allocated 1:1 to CGA or usual care.
Outcome of Patients Transplanted for C3 Glomerulopathy and Primary Immune Complex-Mediated Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis.
Kidney Int Rep
January 2025
Transplantation Center, Departments of Medicine and Surgery, Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Switzerland.
Introduction: Approximately 50% of patients with C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN) reach kidney failure 10 years after diagnosis. Because these patients are generally young, the majority will be listed for kidney transplantation (KTx). However, reported outcomes in patients transplanted for C3G and IC-MPGN are heterogeneous and conflicting, because they are mainly based on retrospective monocentric studies.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine interventions and identify risk factors for lymphocele formation following kidney transplant.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 296 adult kidney transplants from 2010 to 2022 to investigate postoperative lymphocele formation. We divided patients into lymphocele cases and nonlymphocele cases.
