The Development of a Predictive Model for Postoperative Renal Function in Living Kidney-Transplant Donors.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: The accurate prediction of postoperative renal function (post-RF) in living kidney donors is essential for optimizing donor safety and long-term health. After nephrectomy, renal function can be significantly altered, owing to the functional adaptation of the remaining kidney; however, the extent of this has not been investigated. This study aimed to examine how various donor factors affect functional adaptation after nephrectomy, and to develop a new predictive model. Methods: In total, 310 patients who underwent donor nephrectomy were included. Preoperative split renal function (pre-SRF) of the remaining kidney was measured. Post-RF was measured 1 month after surgery. The functional adaptation rate was calculated from the difference between pre-SRF and
