In this issue of Transplantation International, Sanchez-Escudero et al [1] report the results obtained from a prospective single centre study enrolling 485 consecutive transplant recipients receiving a kidney with a Remuzzi score (RS) [2] of Pre Transplant Donor Biopsies (PTDB) lower or equal to 4. Then retrospectively, the authors compared their organ allocation policy based on RS with kidney donor profile index (KDPI) [3] and evaluated the discard rate between KDPI and PTDB and five years graft and patients survival. Their data support the hypothesis that PTDB could support the acceptance of kidneys with the highest KDPI. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
