Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy has become the accepted method of harvesting the
kidney at many institutions because of multiple advantages over open donor nephrectomy …

Background. Live donor kidneys with multiple arteries are associated with surgical
complexity for removal and increased rate of recipient ureteral complications. We evaluated …

Introduction 3. Benefits of live kidney donor transplantation 3.1. Innovations in live kidney
donation 4. Care for the live donor 4.1. Improvements in imaging of the donor 4.2 …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to examine the correlation between CT-based
and radionuclide renography–based measures of split renal function in a healthy population …

Background Contrast-enhanced CT is necessary before donor nephrectomy and is usually
combined with a Tc-99m-mercapto-acetyltriglycine (MAG3) scan to check split renal function …

To assess the accuracy of multirow detector computed tomography (MDCT) for the
evaluation of renal anatomy for preoperative donor assessment in living related kidney …

Background Living-donor kidney transplantation is an established practice. Traditionally a
combination of renal scintigram and computed tomography (CT) is used to select the kidney …

Living kidney donor evaluation commonly includes nuclear renography to assess split
kidney function and computed tomography (CT) scan to evaluate anatomy. To streamline …

Background. The aim of the study was to prospectively compare the diagnostic performance
of CT angiography (CTA) with MR angiography (MRA) in the preoperative assessment of …

OBJECTIVES: To measure the renal parenchymal volume (RPV) before and after unilateral
nephrectomy and investigate the relationship between the RPV and single kidney …
