Nephrolithiasis in living kidney donor: experience of nephrologists.
La Tunisie Médicale 2018 Februrary
BACKGROUND: Living kidney donation for transplantation has become common practice. The decisions to accept a donor with nephrolithiasis are becoming frequent.
AIM: The aim of our study was to report our experience in the living donor kidney with asymptomatic lithiasis.
METHODS: Over a period of 4 years from 2009 to 2013 we collected 18 cases. From the clinical, metabolic and radiological data, we have determined the etiology of urolithiasis in our patients and established, after a literature review, a decision tree of kidney donation.
RESULTS: Our study included 10 women and 8 men with a mean age of 43 years. The nephrolithiasis was discovered incidentally during radiological assessment through the urinary tract without preparation in 1 case, the abdominal ultrasound in 6 cases and the abdominal CT scan in 11 cases. The donation of kidney in our study was performed in 1 case and disqualified in the others cases especially for metabolic abnormalities. In the single couple donor-recipient, after a follow up of 5 years; we have not identified adverse side effects either in the donor or in the recipient patient.
CONCLUSION: In living donors with nephrolithiasis the final decision of renal transplantation must be based on the confrontation between the clinical, biological and radiological data. Metabolic disorders constituted the mainly contraindication of kidney donation in our patients.
