Core Tip
Core Tip: An increasing number of prediabetic kidney donors are encountered by transplant physicians. The decision to allow or to not allow these donors is always challenging. Prediabetics are prone to multiple complications in the future, including diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. Variability in recommendations by various organizations and societies about kidney donation in prediabetics leads to even further confusion in decision making. This extensive review focuses on evidence from both the general population and kidney donors regarding kidney donation in prediabetics. This review will help clinicians to take well informed decisions and to identify a direction for further research and the need for a uniform position by international transplant societies like The Transplantation Society or International Society of Nephrology.
