Understanding the Relationship Between Severe Donor Diabetes Insipidus, Kidney Donor Profile Index, and Recipient Kidney Function
This national analysis confirms that while the presence of severe DI alone is not associated with graft outcomes, the use of peak creatinine significantly improves risk stratification of donor graft quality. Precise risk stratification is critical for efforts to improve appropriate kidney allocation and increase confidence in organ function after transplant.
