Case description

With the ongoing shortage of standard criteria donors (SCD) efforts to expand the organ pool such as use of expanded criteria donors (ECD) have intensified. Various kidney donor risk indexes have been developed to predict graft survival with various combinations of donor and recipient characteristics. Continuous kidney donor risk index (KDRI) was proposed by Rao at al. The graded impact on kidney allograft survival seems to make it more useful tool at the time of the deceased donor kidney offer than expanded and nonexpanded criteria donor classification.
