Abstract

Objective To investigate the safety for donors and the effectiveness for of living-related donor (LRD) kidney transplantation from elder donors. Methods 251 cases of LRD kidney transplantation were reviewed. According to the age of LRDs, the patients were divided into 2 groups:≥55 years group (group A) and 0.05). (2)There was no significant difference in Ccr between two groups pre-donation (P = 0.45). But at the 10th day after the donor nephrectomy, Ccr level in group A was significant lower than in group B (P 0.05). Remaining renal GFR on the day 10 before and after donation had no significant difference in group A (P>0.05), but on the day 10 after donation that was significantly increased in group B as compared with that pre-donation (P 0.05). (5) The mean hospital stay after donation of LRDs and had no significant difference between two groups. (6) The incidence of recipients acute rejection was 6.50 % (5/77) in group A, and 5.75%(10/174) in group B within 6 months after operation (P = 0.95). Conclusion Transplantations performed from the elderly donors will yield similar results from younger donors if the eider donors are evaluated or assessed as the standards. Key words: Kidney transplantation; Aged; Living donors
