After one year after one Kidney transplant does the transplanted kidney still function after a corpse donation 83% of the falls; with a living donation, however 93%.
Five years after the organ transfer, the function rate is 66% for corpse donations and 80% for living donations.
The better results after living donation are due to a shorter ischemia time due to a better logistical situation and probably to better cooperation of the patient with regard to the therapy guidelines (compliance). The ischemia time refers to the period between organ removal and implantation in which the donor kidney is not supplied with blood, i.e. ischemia (blood flow stop) is present.
