Abstract:
Objective To assess the impact of donor age on the outcome of living donor kidney transplantation.Methods A total of 217 patients undergoing living donor kidney transplantation during 2004 to 2011 were enrolled in our retrospective study.The recipients were divided into different groups according to their donors' age or the age gaps between donors and recipients.A follow-up survey was conducted to evaluate the serum creatinine level and the incidence of complications after transplantation.Results As the donors age grew,the recipients' serum creatinine increased.The serum creatinine levels of patients with older donors(age gap＞5 years) at 1 month[(143.5±42.1) μmol/L vs (114.4±30.4) μmol/L],3 months (139.9±36.6)μmol/L vs (110.6±33.3) μ mol/L],1 year [(132.1±22.1) μmol/L vs (105.5±35.9) μmol/L] and 2years (132.0±45.4) μmol/L vs (97.2±17.5) μ mol/L] after operation were significantly higher than those with younger donors(age gap＜-5)(P＜0.05).The incidence of acute rejection (19.4％ vs 9.7％,P＜0.05) and chronic rejection (9.7％ vs 1.4％,P＜0.05) was significantly higher in the group with donors older than 50 years old than those with donors younger than 50 years old.But no significant difference was observed in the survival of the grafts or the recipients.Age gap between the donor and recipient was an independent risk factor for abnormal serum creatinine level at 2 years after transplantation (OR=5.010,P＜0.05).Conclusions Donor age is an important impact factor on the outcome of living kidney transplantation.Recipients of older living donation have poorer Prognosis.
