The use of unrelated living donors in kidney transplantation is still controversial but many transplant centres have accepted this procedure. The main argument against this approach is usually an ethical one. Because of this, at our institution we accept biologically unrelated donors only if they have an emotional closeness to the recipient. From January 1983 to October 1993, out of 654 kidney transplantations we performed at our institution, 364 kidney allografts were from living donors. Of these living donors, 245 were first-degree relatives of the recipient (LRD) while 119 were unrelated (LURD); 100 cases were spouses--wife to husband in 76 cases and husband to wife in 24 cases. Statistical analysis of the results (chi-square) revealed a...
