Core Tip	The aim of this study was to investigate if a kidney after nephrectomy in patients with a benign kidney disorder could be transplanted successfully as unspecified live donor kidney transplant. Follow-up showed a 1-year average creatinine level of 88 µmol/L and after a median of 6.9 years an average creatinine level of 86.6 µmol/L was reached in these donating patients. In seven out of nine donating patients’ absence of pain was described. Transplant recipients’ outcome showed an average creatinine level of 164.5 µmol/L with a median follow up of 7.7 years. Furthermore, all transplant recipients are currently not on dialysis. Our data show the safety and feasibility of transplanting kidneys from patients with a medical indication for nephrectomy and enlarging the live kidney donor pool.
