Outcome of kidney transplantation from young pediatric donors (aged less than 6 years) to young size-matched recipients

Pediatric donation is underutilized due to presumed increased risk of vascular thrombosis (VT) and graft loss. Using young pediatric donors (YPD) for young pediatric recipients (YPR) is suggested to be even at greater risk and therefore precluded in many centers. The aim of this study was to analize the outcome of kidney transplantation (KT) from YPD to age-matched YPR.
