Popis: Background: India performed 7936 kidney transplantation operations in 2018 with living donor as the source in 85%. Identifying a living kidney donor (LKD) is difficult due to medical, social, and regulatory barriers. In addition, only a proportion of patients who volunteer may be able to donate eventually. Despite living donors being the predominant source, there are very few studies addressing the factors influencing living donor kidney donation in India. Methods: We analyzed data from our prospective LKD registry between July 1, 2011 and June 31, 2018. Demographic details, medical history, serum creatinine, and measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR), blood pressure and the eventual outcome of LKD evaluation, including reason for noneligibility were collected. In a prospective cohort of 12 LKDs, renal functional reserve was studied using protein loading and dietary protein intake was measured from urine urea nitrogen excretion. Results: Over a period of 81 months, 316 LKDs were enrolled in our program. On 101 instances factors related to recipients prevented transplantation and on 92 occasions donor related factors precluded donation. Among 182 medically eligible LKDs with no evidence of CKD, only 33% had mGFR >90 ml/min/1.73 m2. Based on our institutional criteria, 22% of LKDs with mGFR 90 ml/min/1.73 m2. Eight LKDs with mGFR
