STELLINGEN
Behorende bij het proefschrift
Living kidney donor evaluation
and safety assessment
1. Estimated glomerular filtration rate can be used in living donor screening, but some donors will require a confirmatory test before they can be accepted for donation –
This thesis.
2. Estimated glomerular filtration rate should be used with caution in the follow-up of living kidney donors – This thesis.
3. The renal functional reserve capacity is diminished after donation in overweight female kidney donors – This thesis.
4. The renal functional reserve capacity is a predictor of short-term renal function after living kidney donation, but not of long-term renal function – This thesis.
5. Donor tubular phosphate handling is a predictor of recipient renal function one year post-transplant – This thesis.
6. Post-transplant hypophosphatemia is associated with beneficial transplant and patient outcomes – This thesis.
7. Post-nephrectomy pain is a relevant factor for donor quality of life – This thesis. 8. To improve living kidney donor programs, more insight is needed in the physiological,
medical and psychosocial effects of living donation on the donor and recipient – This
thesis.
9. By investing in a good program for living kidney donor screening and follow-up, transplant centers can cost-effectively implement the highest quality of transplant care.
10. Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs – Henry Ford.
11. For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others – Eleanor
