Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: We performed 110 kidney transplantations between November 2010 and April 2014. Fifteen of the kidney transplantations were performed from living related donors to preemptive recipients. These 15 preemptive recipients and their donors' data were collected and retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: The mean age of recipients and donors was 37.2 years (range, 4-60) and 50.6 years (range, 28-64), respectively. The male-female ratios were 10:5 in the recipients and 8:7 in the donors. Nine left kidneys and 6 right kidneys were recovered. Nine kidneys had a single artery; the other 6 kidneys had 2 renal arteries. The mean warm ischemic time was 219.5 seconds (range, 90-480). The mean hospitalization times were 5.9 days (range, 4-10) and 4.9 days (range, 3-9) for the recipients and the donors, respectively. The mean follow-up time was 20.3 months (range, 0.5-37) for recipients. Graft survival was 100% in this period. BK virus nephropathy occurred in only 1 pediatric recipient. One patient had a recurrent disease that was the cause of the renal failure. They graft functions were stable. No kidney was lost from rejection, technical causes, infection, or recurrent disease. The donors live their lives with no problems. CONCLUSIONS:
