Donor Smoking Negatively Affects Donor and Recipient Renal Function following Living Donor Nephrectomy

Table 2

Calculated glomerular filtration rates in mL/min per 1.73 m² of 200 patients at a single institution, including 100 kidney donors undergoing laparoscopic donor nephrectomy as well as their 100 recipients. Patients were stratified by donor tobacco history into those with a history of tobacco use (SD) and a control group with no history of tobacco use (ND).
