Pak Armed Forces Med J Jan ;51(2):126-9.

Renal donors of 194 renal transplants performed at Armed Forces Institute of Urology (AFIU) were studied retrospectively with an aim to assess the state of kidney donation by different family members alongwith their age and sex distribution. Kidneys were donated by relatives in 87.6% cases while 12.4% cases donors were unrelated. Siblings donated kidneys in most of the cases (55.9%), followed by parents (24.7%), cousins (10.6%) and children (8.8%). Most of our donors were young between 18-30 years of age (43.3%) followed by 31-40 years group (32.5%), 41-50 years age (15.5%) and 5160 years age (8.2%). Only one donor was more than 60 years age.
