Do Factors Influencing Acceptance of Kidney Stone Formers as Donors Predict Subsequent Stone Events?

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to assess whether kidney stone burden and risk factors at the time of kidney donor evaluation were associated with a symptomatic stone event post-donor evaluation.

Methods

We identified adults evaluated at Mayo Clinic (two sites) (2000-2011) for living kidney donation and had either a personal history or radiological evidence of kidney stone disease. We analyzed demographics, stone risk factors, stone number/size, and the committee's donation decision and reasons. A follow-up survey (2022-2023) assessed post-evaluation symptomatic kidney stones and related morbidity.

Results

Among 412 potential donors with kidney stone disease, 258 donated, 75 did not donate due to kidney stones, and 79 did not donate for other reasons. Multivariable analysis
