Shinoda K, et al. - Researchers analyzed 101 living donors for whom a 1-mm sliced enhanced computed tomography scan was performed preoperatively and clinical data could be collected up to 1 year after donation to explore the significance of preserved kidney volume (PKV) and known preoperative risk factors for the prediction of unfavorable renal function compensation. As per multivariable logistic regression analysis, body mass index (BMI) and body surface area (BSA)-adjusted PKV were independent preoperative risk factors for “unfavorable renal compensation”. Hence these could be useful to select candidates with potentially unfavorable renal function compensation before kidney donation.
