Analysis of Kidney Donation and Its Relationship With Graft Failure of the Recipient at 1 Year.

Introduction: Currently, the shortage of organs available for kidney transplantation and a change in donors' and recipients' profiles (elderly, with cardiovascular risk, donors after cardiac death), it is becoming necessary to assess grafts from expanded-criteria donors (ECD) in order to have methods that allow us to predict viability and graft survival.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the different methods of renal donor assessment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], preimplantation biopsy, and Kidney Donor Profile Index [KDPI] score) as predictors of graft survival and renal function of our recipient at 1 year.

Methods: We performed a descriptive and retrospective study of 183 deceased donor kidney transplantations performed at our center between 2011 and 2015.
