Concerns have been raised that many kidney donors do not receive adequate medical care after nephrectomy. In 2003, our program developed a policy recommending that donors have medical follow-up by 12 months post-nephrectomy. We hypothesized that medically complex donors would have a higher rate of follow-up than other donors. A retrospective cohort study of 137 live kidney donors from a single center was performed. Donors were considered medically complex if they had hypertension, body mass index ≥ 30, nephrolithiasis, age ≥ 65 years, creatinine clearance <80 ml/min/1.73m2 or a 1st degree relative with diabetes. Adequate follow-up was defined as: 1) one visit with a nephrologist at our center, or 2) blood pressure, serum creatinine, and urinalysis checked elsewhere. 83 donors (61%) had adequate follow-up, 42 did not, and 12 could not be contacted. In multivariate logistic regression, donors with adequate follow-up were more likely to be medically complex (O.R. 2.48, C.I. 1.18 - 5.23, p=0.017) and older than donors with inadequate follow-up (O.R. 1.46 per ten years of age, C.I. 1.01 - 2.10, p=0.044.) A substantial minority of donors did not receive recommended care by 1 year following nephrectomy.
