Association of Pre- and Post-Donation Renal Function with Midterm Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in Living Kidney Donors: A Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 6 months after donation (eGFR_6m) is strongly associated with the risk of end-stage renal disease in living kidney donors. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of eGFR_6m <60 mL/min/1.73 m² (eGFR_6m <60) and identify the risk factors that can predict the occurrence of eGFR_6m <60 in living kidney donors.

Materials and methods

Living kidney donors who underwent nephrectomy at Severance Hospital between January 2009 and December 2019 were identified. We excluded 94 of 1233 donors whose creatinine values at 6 months after donation were missing. The risk factors for eGFR_6m <60 were assessed using multivariate regression analysis. The optimal cutoff points for ca
