Cigarette smoking in living kidney donors: donor and recipient outcomes.
BACKGROUND Living kidney donor pools are expanding with the use of "medically complex" donors. Whether or not to include cigarette smokers as living kidney donors remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between donor smoking and recipient outcomes. We hypothesized that donor smoking would increase donor complications and decrease allograft and recipient survival...
متن کاملOutcomes of living donor liver transplantation using elderly donors
PURPOSE Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) using elderly donors is increasing in frequency in response to organ shortage. However, elderly donor graft has been reported to negatively affect graft patency and patient survival. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 604 patients who underwent LDLT at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, The Catholic University of Korea between ...
متن کاملDonor Smoking Negatively Affects Donor and Recipient Renal Function following Living Donor Nephrectomy
Background. While tobacco use by a renal transplant recipient has been shown to negatively affect graft and patient survival, the effect of smoking on the part of the kidney donor remains unknown. Methods. 29 smoking donors (SD) and their recipients (SD-R) as well as 71 non-smoking donors (ND) and their recipients (ND-R) were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative demographics and perioperative...
متن کاملLiving kidney donors ages 70 and older: recipient and donor outcomes.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The profound organ shortage has resulted in longer waiting times and increased mortality for those awaiting kidney transplantation. Consequently, patients are turning to older living donors. It is unclear if an upper age limit for donation should exist, both in terms of recipient and donor outcomes. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In the United States, ...
متن کاملDonor phosphorus levels and recipient outcomes in living-donor kidney transplantation.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In living-donor kidney transplantation, various donor factors, including gender, age, and baseline kidney function, predict allograft function and recipient outcomes after transplantation. Because higher phosphorus is predictive of vascular injury in healthy adults, the effect of donor phosphorus levels on recipient renal function after transplantation was investigated...
