Summary of recent studies examining renal outcomes among living kidney donors

Reference LKD Participants & Data Source Comparison Data (if any) Outcome Measures Findings Within LKD Comparison of LKD and Non-LKD
Gibney et al, Transplantation 200722
  • OPTN data living donor registrations and transplant waitlist registrations in 1993–2005

  • N/A

  • Transplant waitlist registrations in prior LKD

  • 44% of 102 LKD waitlisted after donation in the period were black

  • Black LKD comprised 14.3% of 8,889 LKD in the period, and were over-represented among LKD on the waitlist (P<0.001).

Ibrahim et al, N Engl J Med 2009 17
  • Retrospective cohort study of 3,698 LKD at one U.S. center in 1963–2007

  • United States Renal Data System, annual ESRD incidence rates

  • ESRD based on report of the LKD or recipient

  • GFR measured in 255 LKD

  • ESRD: 180 cases PMPY

  • Measured GFR: > 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 in 85.5% of the subgroup with GFR data

  • ESRD in LKD did not exceed national ESRD rate for white Americans (268 cases PMPY)

Lentine et al, N Engl J Med 2010 8
  • Linkage of OPTN data for 4,650 LKD in 1987–2007 with administrative billing claims from a private health insurer (2000–2007 claims)

  • Median time from donation to end of insurance: 7.7 yrs

  • N/A for renal outcomes

  • Claims-based diagnoses of CKD

  • Stage-specific coding examined a sub-group of 2307 with insurance benefits after start of stage-specific coding

  • CKD diagnosis: Overall, 5.2% at 5 yrs. Approximately twice as likely among black (aHR 2.32, P<0.05) or Hispanic (aHR 1.90, P<0.05) compared to white LKD

  • CKD stage 3 or higher in sub-analysis: more likely in black(aHR, 3.60, P = 0.009) or Hispanic (aHR, 4.23, P = 0.006) vs white LKD

  • Dialysis-requiring CKD in sub-analysis: 0.7% (P=0.02 vs white) and 0.5% Hispanic (P=0.10) LKD, vs 0 cases among white LKD

  • N/A
