Brief summary
We believe that kidney donors with kidney stones accepted for a donation do not have an increased risk of loss of kidney function and will not be at increased risk of symptomatic kidney stone events compared to donors without a history of kidney stones.
Detailed description
Indiana University Health center has a large nephrology and transplant service which is well versed in taking care of kidney donors with history of kidney stones. We believe that kidney donors with kidney stones accepted for a donation do not have an increased risk of loss of kidney function and will not be at increased risk of symptomatic kidney stone events compared to donors without a history of kidney stones. In this study we are contacting past kidney donors and participants with kidney stone who were declined as kidney donors. We will use blood tests, 24-hour urine tests, computed tomography (CT) scan, patient reported medical history and medical history in the patient's chart to gather data. This data will help us compare non stone donors, stone donors, and participants with kidney stone who were declined as kidney donors.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTlow dose radiation abdomen/pelvis CT scan (stone protocol)
Kidney donors who consent will undergo a low dose radiation abdominal CT scan to identify new kidney stones in the remaining kidney. The will come to an IU Health Hospital for a low dose radiation abdomen/pelvis CT scan (stone protocol).
PROCEDUREBlood draw
To compare the changes changes in eGFR in evaluated kidney donors Blood will be draw by a trained phlebotomist.
To compare the changes in metabolic kidney stone risk parameters in 24-hour urine assessments to pre-donation urine studies in evaluated kidney donors.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| changes in eGFR and urine protein to urine creatinine ratio | >2 years | To assess the changes in eGFR and urine protein to urine creatinine ratio in kidney donors with history of kidney stones who donated a kidney 2 or more years ago. We will compare these kidney donors with the age, sex, years since donation and body mass index matched standard (non-stone) kidney donors for absolute eGFR and protein/creatinine urine ratio change, using time as a denominator by paired t-test. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| changes in metabolic kidney stone risk parameters in 24-hour urine assessments to pre-donation urine studies | >2 years | To compare the changes in metabolic kidney stone risk parameters in 24-hour urine assessments to pre-donation urine studies in kidney donors with history of kidney stones compared to those who were rejected for donation due to abnormal urine studies or CT scan. We will compare pre-post 24-hour urine results for supersaturation of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, and uric acid (composite risks), and the individual parameters of urine volume, calcium, citrate, oxalate, uric acid and pH with paired t-test. |
| assess formation of new kidney stones by imaging | >2 years | To assess formation of new kidney stones by imaging. Kidney donors who consent will undergo a low dose radiation abdominal CT scan to identify new kidney stones in the remaining kidney. We will determine the number of symptomatic, passed, and asymptomatic kidney stones on CT scan post donation as a function of time. |
