Abstract:
To observe the changes of renal function in the remaining kidney after donor nephrectomy, we prospectively examined renal Function of 213 living donors (Donor group) and they were compared with that or other (not related to genitourinary tact) 20 operated patients (Control group). We measured the blood pressure, serum BUN. creatinine, 24-hour urine protein and creatinine clearance before and after operation. The significant differences were observed in serum BUN. creatinine, 24-hour urine protein and creatinine clearance between donor group and control group. In conclusion. there were significant changes of renal function in the remaining kidney after donor nephrectomy and we must perform follow-up study of renal function periodically.
