A very important issue in living kidney donor transplantation is whether the donation is safe or not for the donor. The aim of this study was to examine the long-term impact of uninephrectomy on the renal function, blood pressure, and proteinuria in living kidney donors. We could followed 59 donors who had donated a kidney more than 10 years ago. Among these 59 donors, 19 donors visited hospital and were undertaken physical examination and laboratory evaluation. We checked blood pressure, BUN/creatinine, 24 hours urine protein, and creatinine clearance to these donors. The rest 40 donors were traced by telephone survey for medical history and survival. The mean duration of follow-up were and years, respectively in both group of the donors. The mean age at last follow-up were and years old, respectively. Actually 2 patients proved to have well controlled hypertension with anti-hypertensive medications. Mean values of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were and mmhg in 19 donors, which showed no difference from general population compared with nationwide survey of blood pressure. There were no difference of BUN/creatinine, 24 hours urine protein, and creatinine clearance between pre-nephrectomy and follow-up values. There was one patient death in the telephone surveyed group, who died of stomach cancer. No body had specific medical illness and took hypertensive medication in the telephone surveyed group. We could not demonstrate any deterioration of renal function and development of uninephrectomy induced hypertension in living kidney donor more than 10 years after kidney donation.
