Abstract: The kidney donor risk index (KDRI) and percentile conversion, kidney donor profile index (KDPI), provide a continuous measure of donor quality. Kidneys with a KDPI >85% (KDPI85) are referred to as “high KDPI.” The KDPI85… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14759
Abstract: High kidney‐donor profile index (KDPI) kidneys have a shorter survival than grafts with lower KDPI values. It is still unclear, however, whether their shorter longevity depends on an inferior baseline function, faster functional decline, or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/tri.12966
Abstract: There is no consensus on the allocation of renal transplants from expanded criteria donors (ECD). The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) is used without the need for pretransplant donor biopsies (PTDB). We explored whether PTDB… read more here.

Functional status‐based risk–benefit analyses of high‐KDPI kidney transplant versus dialysis

DOI: 10.1111/tri.13483
Abstract: Yearly, over half of deceased‐donor kidneys with kidney donor profile index (KDPI) > 85 were discarded, yet they could improve survival outcomes for dialysis patients. The potential risk of high‐KDPI kidney transplant (KT) depends on… read more here.
