To compare the long-term results of kidney transplantation from living unrelated donors (LURDs) with that from living related donors (LRDs).

From 1984 to 2004, we performed 2155 kidney transplantations of which 374 were from LRDs and 1760 from LURDs. We reviewed and compared the long-term data from these cases.

The LURD group included 64.2% men with an overall mean age of 33.46 ± 14.61 (range 3 to 76) years. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy was performed in 329 cases (18.7%) with mean follow-up of 45.68 ± 46.80 months. The LRD group included 66.5% of male recipients with overall mean age of 28.97 ± 9.58 (range 9 to 65) years. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy was performed in 12 cases (3.2%) of LRDs with mean follow-up of 81.15 ± 67.03 months. One-, 3-, 5-, 10-, and 15-year graft survivals among LRDs were 91.6%, 81.7%, 76.4%, 64 …
