Donor Kidney With Complete Duplication of Ureter: Is It Safe for Transplantation?

Exp Clin Transplant. 2024 May;22(5):396-398. doi: 10.6002/ect.2024.0009.

Abstract

Renal transplantation is the best modality of treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. Donor shortage remains a substantial problem, for which different strategies are employed, including acceptance of marginal donors and donor kidneys with anatomic variations. We performed a successful kidney transplant of a donor kidney that had complete duplication of the ureter. After transplant, the recipient had no urinary complications.
