Characteristics and Outcomes of Kidneys Accepted versus Turned Down by Regional Centers

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: SESSIONS S34or kidney characteristics did not diff er signifi cantly between the two groups.Recipients of KTC kidneys had a signifi cantly longer length of hospital stay, but DGF rate, 6-month and 1-year recipient renal function did not diff er signifi cantly between the two groups.Rates of 6-month GS were similar, while 1-year GS rates were signifi cantly higher in the KTC group.Conclusions: Despite diff erences in donor characteristics, renal outcomes did not diff er signifi cantly between kidneys we accepted versus those turned down.Findings of comparable outcomes with KTE kidneys can help reframe a center's understanding of acceptable organ quality metrics and motivate centers to rethink and expand their acceptance criteria.
