Impact of acute kidney injury in ≥65-year-old kidney donors on short- and long-term allograft outcomes
In this study, KT from ≥65-year-old donors with mostly mild AKI resulted in similar short and long-term graft survival and function compared to KT from ≥65-year-old donors without AKI. These findings support the utilization of AKI kidneys from elderly donors to expand the donor pool without compromising outcomes.
