We compare three groups: donors aged between 50-60 years (n = 32), donors aged over 60 years(n = 25) and a control group formed by donors of ¿ideal¿ ages. The results show that kidneys fromdonors over 60 years evidence, as compared to the control group, a higher incidence of acute tubularnecrosis (p = 0,032), significantly higher blood creatinine levels in all the intervals considered, and agraft survival wich is 14% less at 12 months and 40% less at 36 months (p = 0,0009). These differencesare most probably to be attributed to the changes caused in these organs by advancing ageand by previous pathological situations, as we have not detected a higher incidence of inmunologic orsurgical complications.
