Abstract
A suitable candidate for kidney donation is usually seen 1–3 months before the date of surgery. He is assessed by Nephrologists, Urological Surgeons and Anesthetists, by thorough investigations with the aim of avoiding surgery for any person who is ASA 3 or above. Moreover, although we haven’t faced obese candidates in our experience, we think that a BMI above 35 should be considered a relative contraindication for kidney donation since those subjects would be more exposed to perioperative complications and late renal dysfunction.
