Successful transplant of a kidney with fibromuscular dysplasia having higher glomerular filtration rate than the contralateral kidney.

Abstract

Fibromuscular dysplasia is the second-most commonly encountered anatomic abnormality in potential renal donors. Normotensive patients with medial fibroplasia and low-grade lesions have been used as renal donors. However, no studies have reported the optimal choice of a kidney for donation where the kidney with fibromuscular dysplasia had a larger volume and a higher glomerular filtration rate than the unaffected side. Herein, we report a case of renal transplant using a kidney with fibromuscular dysplasia that had higher glomerular filtration rate than the normal side. After transplant, hypertension and abnormal serum creatinine did not occur in either the donor or the recipient during 12 months' follow-up.
