Abstract: Living kidney donors (LKD) for paediatric kidney transplant recipients (KTR) have a heightened motivation to donate for emotional reasons and the clear health benefits to the KTR. We hypothesized that the cohort of LKD for paediatric KTR (LKD-P) includes motivated young parents with a higher lifetime end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) risk compared to adult KTR (LKD-A). Data from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant LKD Registry (2004-2015) was analysed to compare baseline characteristics and predonation ESKD risk in LKD-P (n = 315) versus LKD-A (n = 3448). LKD-P were younger (median age 42 vs. 50 years; P < 0.001) and had a marginally higher lifetime ESKD risk (median 0.44% vs. 0.40%; P < 0.01), with a similar proportion of LKD exceeding 1% risk threshold (5.4% vs. 5.6%; P = NS). Compared to grandparents as LKD-P, parents (median age 41 vs. 59 years; P < 0.001) had a higher lifetime ESKD (0.44% vs. 0.25%; P < 0.001). Although unique benefits to paediatric KTR justify the minor increase in lifetime ESKD risk in young parents, carefully selected grandparents are an alternative LKD-P option, allowing parents to donate for subsequent transplants.
