Key Points Question What are the postdonation outcomes of living kidney donors? Findings In this cohort study of 10 869 living kidney donors from the ImmPort open access data repository, 9558 individuals’ postdonation data were analyzed. Overall, 1406 living donors (14.7%) had postdonation events; the 4 most common events were hypertension, diabetes, proteinuria, and postoperative ileus, and most events that occurred more than 2 years after transplant were unrelated to surgical complications, occurring up to 40 years later. Meaning Aggregated data from publicly available clinical studies can provide insights into short-term and long-term complications affecting living donors.
