Marginal donor kidney in a marginal recipient: Five year follow-up

Indian J Nephrol. 2010 Apr;20(2):100-2. doi: 10.4103/0971-4065.65306.

Abstract

The widening gap between demand and supply of organs became apparent as organ shortage became more severe. Organs previously considered unsuitable for transplantation are currently being used. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a hereditary disease characterized by slow progressive cystic changes and deterioration of renal function. We provide our experience with an ADPKD patient who received a kidney from 38-year-old deceased donor ADPKD-affected kidney for renal transplantation.

Keywords: Autosomal dominat polycystic kidney disease; cadaveric donor; marginal donor.
