Does size matter? Kidney transplant donor size determines kidney function among living donors
Journal Title: Clinical Kidney Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Kidney donor outcomes are gaining attention, particularly as donor eligibility criteria continue to expand. Kidney size, a useful predictor of recipient kidney function, also likely correlates with donor outcomes. Although donor evaluation includes donor kidney size measurements, the association between kidney size and outcomes are poorly defined.
