End-stage renal failure after donor nephrectomy. 1986

J S Tapson

A 52-year-old man, who had undergone donor nephrectomy 14 years previously, recently developed end-stage renal failure himself. The recipient of the donated kidney still has normal renal function associated with marked proteinuria. This deterioration of kidney function emphasizes the need for meticulous pre-operative evaluation of potential kidney donors and for the long-term post-operative follow-up of the donor as well as the recipient.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.
