Abstract
Conclusions Fast-track pathways significantly shortened hospital stay and quickened oral intake. Cost was significantly contained using new pathways. Resumption of daily activities was comparable among the groups. Comparisons of critical care pathways are required to optimize patient care after kidney donation. Prospective trials are needed to verify our results.Keywords
