Donors at risk: impaired glucose tolerance

• All potential living kidney donors should have a fasting plasma glucose level performed on at least two occasions. If the levels are: – 37 mmol/L on both occasions then the potential donor is diabetic and this is an absolute contraindication for living kidney donation, – 6.1–6.9 mmol/L on at least one occasion then this patient should have a 2 h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), – 45 years, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) or obesity) should be screened with a 2 h OGTT. • If the 2 h glucose of an OGTT results are: – 311.1 mmol/L then the patient is diabetic and this is an absolute contra-indication to living kidney donation, – 7.8–11.0 mmol/L then this patient has impaired glucose tolerance and this is an absolute contraindication to living kidney donation, –
