[Transplantation of the kidney of an 80-year-old donor after complex revascularization with good transplant function].
There is no age limit in kidney donation. Kidney function has to be evaluated on an individual basis even in elderly donors. We report the transplantation of the kidney of an 80-year-old donor with good organ function postoperatively. Complex revascularization had to be performed because of arteriosclerosis in two of three renal arteries.
