Case description

The initial graft function is a prognostic indicator for the results of renal transplants. Cold ischemia time and older age of donors have been already well-determinated as risk factors of delayed graft function (DGF), following both deceased- and living-donor kidney transplants. Diagnosis of DGF is closely associated with an inferior long-term outcome. It has been evidenced that graft function and survival rate are significantly worse in transplants with DGF than in those with IGF.
