Wcn25-1834 Correlation of Living Donor Kidney Volume and Recipient Outcome Following Kidney Transplantation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The hypothesis is that transplanting a greater nephron mass would reduce glomerular hypertension and hyperfiltration, thereby increasing graft survival. Therefore, in this study, to further investigate the impact of donated kidney volume on the estimated GFR of the recipient at 1 year post-transplantation and adjust kidney volume for the size of the recipient, we calculated the ratio of donor kidney volume (DKV) to recipient body surface area (BSA). BSA of the recipient was used as a surrogate marker for metabolic demands of the recipient.
