Benefits Of Preemptive Transplantation In Older Patients with High KDPI Kidneys: Is Sooner Better Than Later?

Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Accepting a kidney donor profile index (KDPI) >85% kidney may improve access to preemptive (prior to dialysis) kidney transplant (preKT) in older patients. Less than 20% of patients receive preKT. We examined the benefit of early versus late KDPI>85% preKT according to residual native estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).
