Abstract
- According to the donor shortage, the marginal donor should be concerned as one of the potential kidney sources. The pediatric kidney could be transplanted to adult recipient, but it is well known that small functioning nephron mass could cause the late graft dysfunction according to the hyperfiltration syndrome. Here, we report a case of successful kidney transplantation in adult using en bloc kidneys from a child with good long term graft function.
