Kidney donor profile index (KDPI) is a method developed to assess donor kidney quality for cadaveric transplants. We investigated the relationship between kidney donor risk index (KDRI) and KDPI scores of cadaveric transplants in the last five years in our clinic and current graft conditions. Forty people (12 females, 28 males; mean age, 46.35 + 8....

... the posttransplant findings of the recipients were evaluated by bivariate correlation analysis KDRI/KDPI scores were positively correlated with number of HD session and the day when Cr values started to fall off spontaneously (r = 0.406, P = 0.009, r = 0.457, P = 0.003, respectively). It was observed that recipients who transplanted from the donors with high KDRI/KDPI scores had higher Cr levels (P <0.01) and this relationship did not change over time (P = 0.115) (Figure 1). When the donors were grouped as SCD and ECD; we found that the relationship between KDRI/KDPI, Cr and time was more significant in the ECD group (P = 0.04) (Figure 2). ...

The increasing comorbidity of kidney transplant (KT) donors make it necessary to develop scores to correctly assess the quality of kidney grafts. This study analyzes the usefulness of the preimplantation biopsy and the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) as indicators of KT survival from expanded criteria donors (ECD). Retrospective study of KT in ou...

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is well established as the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, offering more remarkable survivability and quality of life. Due to the shortage of organs and rising demand, the use of marginal donors has increased in transplant centers. Herein, we report our experience with two renal transplants from a donor with polycystic kidney disease with normal kidney function.
