Popis: Introduction Immediately after kidney donation, the remaining kidney will undergo hyperfiltration and work at a higher level to compensate for the other kidney's loss. It is estimated that 70% of the baseline renal function before the donation is recovered post-donation. However, factors that determine the post-donation renal compensation are not well understood. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 190 consecutive kidney donors who completed a one-year follow-up in order to predict the factors affecting the function of the remaining kidney post-contralateral nephrectomy. Results We enrolled 190 living kidney donors who had completed at least one year of follow-up after nephrectomy. Among the participants, 149 (78.4%) were males and 41 (21.6%) were females. The mean age of the participants was 31.33 ±7.9 years and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 25.6 ±3.9 kg/m2. Before kidney donation, the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine were 114.31 ±15.94 ml/min/1.73 m2 and 71.60 ±10.62 mmol/min, respectively. At the one-year follow-up, the mean eGFR was 77.97 ±14.44 ml/min/1.73 m2 and serum creatinine was 100.84 ±20.15 mmol/min. The female gender [odds ratio (OR): 20.6, 95% CI: 3.9-107.7, p
