Purpose: The aim of this single center study was to determine if the outcomes after kidney transplant were influenced by side of kidney donation and/or side of implantation (left versus right). Materials and methods: All kidney transplantations in our department from June 1993 to November 2015 were included. Data was prospectively gathered and used for analysis. Serum creatinine of postoperative days during hospitalization and then at follow up visits was used for determination of kidney function. Results: A total of 3334 transplantations were investigated during the study period. Mean serum creatinine was highest at the 3rd postoperative day and gradually decreased to 1.4 ± 0.7 mg/dl in the 3rd postoperative month and remained rather stable up to 12 months after transplantation. Recipients’ 7th day postoperative creatinine for right donated kidneys were 1.99 ± 1.80 mg/dL and 1.63 ± 1.64 for left donated kidneys (p
