Aim: To compare outcomes between single and dual en bloc (EB) kidney transplants (KT) from small pediatric donors.
Methods: Monocentric nonprospective review of KTs from pediatric donors ≤ 5 years of age. Dual EB KT was defined as keeping both donor kidneys attached to the inferior vena cava and aorta, which were then used as venous and arterial conduits for the subsequent transplant into a single recipient.
Background: The need to expand the organ donor pool remains a formidable challenge in kidney transplantation (KT). The use of expanded criteria donors (ECDs) represents one approach, but kidney discard rates are high because of concerns regarding overall quality. Dual KT (DKT) may reduce organ discard and optimize the use of kidneys from marginal donors.

Results: One hundred and four (11.8%) pts were ≥70 (mean 74), 286 (32.
Background: In the recent past, advanced age was a contraindication to kidney transplantation (KT). The purpose of this study was to review retrospectively our single center experience in deceased donor (DD) KT with respect to recipient age.
Methods: From 10/1/01 to 9/1/06, we performed 356 adult DD KTs.
Objective: To compare intermediate-term outcomes in adult recipients of expanded criteria (ECD) versus concurrent standard criteria (SCD) deceased donor kidney transplants at a single center using a standardized approach.
Summary Background Data: Expanded criteria donors (ECDs) are a source of kidneys that increase the donor organ pool, but the value of transplanting these kidneys has been questioned because of concerns regarding diminished survival and predicted poorer intermediate-term outcomes.
Methods: Over a 47-month period, we performed 244 deceased donor kidney transplants into adult recipients, including 143 from SCDs and 101 from ECDs.
