Abstract
Background: Even today, a non-invasive biomarker to identify donors with enhanced risk for renal impairment is missing. Dickkopf 3 (DKK3) can cause tubulointerstitial fibrosis and is associated with rapid eGFR loss. The aim of our work was to analyze whether DKK3 can be used as a non-invasive alert marker for an increased risk of loss of kidney function in living kidney donors (LKDs). Methods: All donors who were examined between July 2022 and June 2023 (n = 117) were included. DKK3 was measured in the urine. The collected patient-related data were compared with parameters before donation. The study cohort was stratified by DKK3 values (
