Nephrectomy elicits impact of age and BMI on renal hemodynamics: lower postdonation reserve capacity in older or overweight kidney donors.
Renal functional reserve could be relevant for the maintenance of renal function after kidney donation. Low-dose dopamine induces renal vasodilation with a rise in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in healthy subjects and is thought to be a reflection of reserve capacity (RC). Older age and higher bo...
