Abstract
The influence of donor age on the short- and long-term outcome of cadaveric kidney transplantation was analyzed at our institution. During a 6-year period, 34 and 806 patients underwent kidney transplantation from cadaver donors over or less than age 60, respectively. Graft and patient survivals were compared throughout follow-up and herewith reported. In addition, main medical and surgical complications among recipients of elderly cadaver donors are detailed.
