New albuminuria occurred in 15% of donors versus 11% of non donors HR 1.46 [95% CI, 0.97-2.21]
The final median eGFR in donors was 67 (IQR, 59-77) and 91 ml/min (IQR, 81-101). Also the combined occurrence of eGFR <60, hypertension and albuminuria occurred in 24 donors (3%) versus none in non donors.
