Renal Function at Discharge Among Kidney Recipients Experiencing Delayed Graft Function and Its Associations With Long-term Outcomes

Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is associated with higher rates of acute rejection and poor graft survival and outcomes. Current DGF definitions based on posttransplant need for dialysis are not standardized and there are no objective methodologies for quantifying DGF sever...

Description
Summary:Delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation is associated with higher rates of acute rejection and poor graft survival and outcomes. Current DGF definitions based on posttransplant need for dialysis are not standardized and there are no objective methodologies for quantifying DGF severity. MethodsUsing Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data, we examined DGF, and used recipient serum creatinine at discharge as a correlate of renal function and DGF severity (mild:
