We report on the successful use of kidneys procured from a donor with HELLP syndrome. The use of organs from a donor with HELLP syndrome has not been reported previously, perhaps because of the renal complications associated with it. Both recipients have been doing well since renal transplantation, with immediate graft function and acceptable graft function at 2 years of follow-up. In view of the continuing shortage of cadaveric kidneys for transplantation, this report highlights how organs from "marginal" donors should not be discarded without worthy consideration.
