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.
Ten to eighteen years after donor uninephrectomy (UN) there was no evidence for deterioration of renal function. The mean urinary albumin excretion was slightly increased. There was a positive correlation between the assessed protein intake at investigation and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
