Post-Nephrectomy Renal Outcomes in Living Kidney Donors with Diabetes and Prediabetes: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Key takeaways

This study followed 771 people who gave a kidney to someone else. Some of these donors had diabetes or pre-diabetes. Over a median follow-up of 31 months, none of the donors developed end-stage kidney disease. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between having diabetes and kidney health after donation, but it does not prove cause and effect.
