Abstract
The angiograms of 258 potential kidney donors were retrospectively reviewed to assess the influence of angiography for deciding whether or not to accept the potential donor for nephrectomy and which kidney to use for transplantation. Twenty-five potential donors were rejected. In only 8 of these was angiography necessary to reveal the pathology. Angiography was found to be important in deciding which kidney to donate. In 81 donors the right kidney was used for donation and in 50 this decision was based on findings at angiography.Keywords
