Do Factors Influencing Acceptance of Kidney Stone Formers as Donors Predict Subsequent Stone Events?

Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess whether kidney stone burden and risk factors at the time of kidney donor evaluation were associated with a symptomatic stone event post-donor evaluation.
Methods: We identified adults evaluated at Mayo Clinic (two sites) (2000-2011) for living kidney donation and had either a personal history or radiological evidence of kidney stone disease. We analyzed demographics, stone risk factors, stone number/size, and the committee's donation decision and reasons.
Higher abdominal fat area associates with lower donor kidney function before and after living kidney donation.

Central body fat distribution affects kidney function. Abdominal fat measurements using computed tomography (CT) may prove superior in assessing body composition-related kidney risk in living kidney donors. This retrospective cohort study including 550 kidney donors aimed to determine the association between CT-measured abdominal fat areas and kidney function before and after donor nephrectomy.

Introduction: In living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), vascular anastomosis is more difficult due to missing arterial patches and shorter renal veins. The surgical challenge is even more demanding in kidneys with multiple arteries. Although renal transplantation is feasible in most cases of complex donor vascular anatomy and similar results compared with standard LDKT are reported, the discussion on potentially increased complication rates and graft function continues.

Living donor kidney transplant (LDKT) is the treatment of choice for patients with advanced kidney disease. Kidney paired donation (KPD), originally proposed to overcome immunological barriers, has now evolved to address biological and chronological incompatibilities and reduce financial disincentives. This strategy has allowed maximization of the number of LDKTs.
