Aortic stiffness after living kidney donation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Increased aortic stiffness measured with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) has been associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Some studies have reported increased cf-PWV in living kidney donors after nephrectomy. This review aimed to determine the effects of living kidney donation on cf-PWV, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and their differences versus non-nephrectomised healthy individuals.

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis.
