Abstract

Ten to eighteen years after donor uninephrectomy (UN) the compensatory increase in renal function is maintained. Albuminuria was slightly increased in a few donors compared to the controls. We found no evidence for donor uninephrectomy to carry a risk for progressive renal failure. Further studies 2–3 decades after UN will provide additional insight in how UN affects the development of proteinuria and renal function.
