Great informative talk.

I have some queries:

  1. Is there role of Hb1ac in donor with diabetes selection?
  2. What if the donor has stone with abnormal metabolic evaluation, can he be accepted?
  3. What is the definition of small stone size in donor ? what is the the cut-off size for the stone
  4. We have a 47 years old male donor with 20 mm lower pole calculus on left side with no hydronephrosis, can he be accepted after stone clearance. his blood metabolic evaluation is normal with serum creatinine of 1.26mg.dl.

Im thinking about my African patients who tend to be on the heavier side than my non-African patients. Particularly the women, tend to be pear-shaped as compared to having truncal obesity. We have always considered Waist to height ratio or even waist circumference to be a better marker of cardiovascular risk as compared to BMI. Many of our donors have a BMI between 25 – 30. we probably would take donors without any other risk factors with a BMI up to 33. I wonder what others encounter in their non-caucasian practices?

Thank you Professor for this Lecture. Indeed the information given has already influenced me to change my workup process somewhat.
My question would be as to the significance of testing for donor lipid profile? Would it change our assessment in terms of acceptance or rejection of this donor?

Thank you, Khadija, for your question. Yes, lipid profile is important as we aim to reduce the cardiovascular risk associated with donation, Do not forget, there in small but significant increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in kidney donor compared to non-donors

I recently tweeted regarding an identical twin pair. The potential recipient ended up in AKI after an alcoholic binge resulted in severe acute pancreatitis. Incidentally discovered to have hyperlipidemia with would have contributed to the pancreatitis. Recovery course complicated by a pseudocyst in the pancreas and gangrene that subsequently became infected. We hoped for renal recovery but despite a completely normal urine output and has never had hyperkalemia or hyperphosphatemia with a normal diet, he remains acidotic and elevated creatinine and urea.
His twin brother came over from the USA in the hopes of donating a kidney. Also found to be dyslipidemic to >200mg/dl and EF of 45% despite being able to do 10Km runs thrice a week. We have sent him for genetic studies regarding his cardiac function.
Their older brother also has a borderline EF of 50%.
What would you think about taking one of them as a potential kidney donor?

Thanks for the nice, comprehensive lecture.
I will raise a concern with living donation we face some times.
when very young donor, 18 to 25 years presents as potential donor to a recipient usually one of the parents in his late 60th to 80th. Is it fair to accept him with the known long term risk of ESRD and cardiovascular disease?.
Our approach is to tell them about the risk for the donor being very young and it is better if there is an older donor or if the chance of deceased donor will not take long time. If no alternative and he accepted the risk and otherwise he has no other issues to increase his post donation risk like overweight/mild obesity, strong family history of DM then we accept him after discussion in MDT.

Thank you, Montasir. I agree with you, and we do the same thing for such young donors donating to their elderly parents. We excessively counsel them, and all will agree to proceed. Nothing is valuable in our life like mom and dad. in the UK, THE CADAVERIC PROGRAMME is an alternative. This gives us a bit of freedom if the young potential donor is borderline.

Excellent talk. Just wanted to know if there is any standard Algorithm for donor assessment?/

It is simple:
Bood groping
Tissue typing
Crossmatch
BP and urine protein
General examination
CT angiogram and EDTA eGFR.

Any abnormalities detected warrant further investigations.
