Summary:Many living kidney donors (LDs) are young at donation; yet there are little data on long‐term LD follow‐up. We report on 66 LDs who donated ≥50 years ago: 22 (33.3%) are still alive (current age, 78.5 ± 7.25 years); 39 (59%) died (mean age at death, 74.2 ± 12.3 years); and 5 are lost to follow‐up (mean age at last contact, 68.7 ± 4.6 years).
