How do we determine the fate of the kidney transplant with high KDPI kidney?

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Despite high Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) kidney having shorter graft survival and higher rates of early graft dysfunction or primary non- function compared to low KDPI kidneys, their use has increased based on factors such as biopsy findings and pump characteristics. This study aims to identify clinical and pathological factors that predict the outcomes of kidney transplants using high KDPI kidneys at a single center.
