“…We provide long‐term, if not life‐long, follow‐up facilities for living kidney donors. In a previous paper published in 1999, we highlighted an initial significant drop in creatinine clearance post‐nephrectomy and a significant increase in blood pressure in kidney donors 4 . Although there was no significant increase in proteinuria and there was subsequent improvement in creatinine clearance, these findings called for more detailed and comprehensive follow‐up of kidney donors.…”

Hypertension is a well-known risk factor for both chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.…”
Living kidney donors had reductions in GFR post uninephrectomy with subsequent improvement. A significant proportion developed HT and stage 3 CKD. Age at donation was a strong determinant of development of HT and stage 3 CKD.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
