Outcomes of High Kidney Donor Profile Index Hepatitis C Nucleic Acid Testing Positive Kidneys are Equivalent to Matched Hepatitis C Nucleic Acid Testing Negative Kidneys

Although the revised KDPI may assist clinicians in identifying higher-quality organs, its impact on existing sociodemographic disparities and overall organ utilization rate remains uncertain.
