Long-term outcomes reveal persistent proteinuria risks in living kidney donors, highlighting safety concerns.
Introduction: Living kidney donor transplantation provides major benefits for recipients, but long-term donor safety remains a critical concern. Methods: , or persistent proteinuria. Risk factors were assessed. Results: , 28 (1.5%) developed persistent severe proteinuria, and 40 (2.1%) reached the combined end point. Male sex, age, and predonation obesity independently predicted the combined endpoint. Conclusion: These findings support safety while underscoring the need for standardized long-term surveillance to optimize donor care and counseling.
