Abstract

Background: This study was conducted to investigate the incidence of kidney failure and surgical complications in non-relative live kidney donors Ten years after nephrectomy.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on non-relative live kidney donors in the last thirty years in Khurshid and Al-Zahra hospitals in Isfahan. After applying the entry and exit criteria and determining the sample size (102 people), the information related to the time of donation was recorded from the patient's files, and the current GFR, the occurrence of complications, and the donor's satisfaction with the donation were obtained through a telephone interview.
Findings: Of 102 donors in this study, 7.8% were female and 92.2% male, with an average age of 30.08. Hypertension and flank pain were reported in 10.8% and 43.1% of donors, respectively. In none of the cases, a hernia of the operation site was observed. Chronic kidney disease was reported in 4% of the donors. However, none of them experienced severe renal failure or end-stage renal disease.
Conclusion: The results of the present study show that, although the incidence of end-stage renal disease after kidney donation is very infrequent, the average GFR decreases gradually, and hence, the follow-up of the donors should be considered in all cases.
