Abstract

Kidneys with KDPI of 80 or greater comprise the most resource consuming fraction of our donor kidney pool and have the highest rates of discard. Our data suggest that some discarded kidneys with KDPI of 80 or greater are viable; however, current tools and urine and perfusate biomarkers to identify these viable kidneys are not satisfactory. We need better methods to assess viability of kidneys with high KDPI.
