    This study only followed living kidney donors a median of 6.5 years. If the average living kidney donor is 40 years old, the study only looked at their risk until 46/47. Long-term data is twenty years or more, so these results say nothing about a living kidney donor's LIFETIME risk of hypertension, cardiac disease or cardiac-related death.
