Objectives: To evaluate whether the outcomes of renal grafts from living related donors older than 60 years are acceptable, in terms of renal function and patient/graft survival. Material and methods: One hundred and forty-seven patients who received kidneys from donor age 60 years constituted the study group (group 1). The control group (group 2) consisted of 1310 patients who received renal transplants from donor age 560 years. Outcome measures included graft, patient survival, acute rejection rate and serum creatinine (SCr) in patients/ donors. Graft and patient survivals were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The mean age of donors was 62.7 ± 3.39 years in group 1 and 43.45 ± 9.65 years in group 2. Patient survival at 1, 3 and 5 years was 95.7%, 89.4% and 82.6% in group 1 and 93.8%, 89.1% and 83.1% in group 2 (p ¼ 0.785), respectively. Death-censored graft survival at 1, 3 and 5 years was 98.5%, 94.8% and 94.8% in group 1 and 96.1%, 92.9% and 89% in group 2 (p ¼ 0.166), respectively. Biopsy-proven acute rejections were 21% and 16.8% (p ¼ 0.206) and chronic rejections 5% and 3.4% in group 1 and 2, respectively (p ¼ 0.542). Recipient SCr (mg/dL) was 1.8 ± 0.31 in group 1 and 1.58 ± 0.37 in group 2. The donor SCr levels at the last follow-up were 1 mg/dL and 0.9 mg/ dL in group 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusions: Donor age did not affect patient and graft survival in the 5-year follow-up in our study. Age alone seems not to be an exclusion criterion to living kidney donation.
