Renal Outcomes and Surgical Results of Marginal Donors in Living Kidney Transplantation

Key Points

• Marginal donors exhibit lower renal outcomes compared to standard donors, indicating potential risks.
• The eGFR levels in the marginal donor group were lower during the 3 years post-surgery, impacting overall kidney function.
• Observational analysis from 2015 to 2022 assessed outcomes in kidney donors, categorizing them based on donor types.
• Caution is warranted for donors with pre-existing low renal function or older age, given their risk factor status.
