Summary Background Older donors have become widespread in recent years. Given that they have comorbidities, the treatment of theses donors is crucial. Our aim was to analyze the influence of the elderly donor (≥65 years) on the subsequent evolution of liver and kidney recipients. Methods Retrospective study including all liver and kidney transplants performed at the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital with grafts generated from local donors in brain death. Period: 2014–2017. Two groups were considered, depending on the age of the donor (≥ or 65 years) on the subsequent evolution of liver and kidney transplant patients in our environment.
