ABSTRACT:

Background

Since 1998, the Swiss Organ Living-Donor Health Registry (SOL-DHR) has recorded peri- and postoperative complications of living kidney (LK) donors, as reported by all Swiss transplant centers and has collected follow-up data prospectively.

Results

In total, 447 early complications in 404/2379 LK donors (17.0%) were reported to the SOL-DHR. The frequency of donors with major complications (ie, Dindo-Clavien classification 3/4) was 2.4%.
