Abstract

Objective: Survey of kidney function, quality of life and some related factors of living kidney donors of the same bloodline at 108 Military Central Hospital in 2017-2021. Subject and method: A descriptive, retrospective and prospective study of 6 kidney donors of the same bloodline at 108 Military Central Hospital from July 2017 to November 2021. They donated kidneys to their relatives (biological children, siblings). Donors were monitored for health every 6 months for 2 years after kidney donation. Kidney donors were considered to have reduced kidney function if the glomerular filtration rate was below 90mL/min/1.73m2 of skin. Data on weight, blood pressure, creatinine clearance, glomerular filtration rate, 24-hour urine protein, and SF-36 questionnaire to survey the quality of life of kidney donors. Result: After 24 months of kidney donation, related kidney donors had a statistically significant decline in glomerular filtration rate (p<0.05). Renal function after 24 months of kidney donation was positively correlated with body mass index (r = 0.88, p<0.05). The quality of life of kidney donors was average, in which age and BMI had a significant influence (<0.01). Conclusion: Kidney function declines 24 months after kidney donation, Quality of life after kidney donation is only average. Related kidney donors are recommended to receive health care within 2 years of kidney donation.
