A pair analysis of the delayed graft function in kidney recipient: the critical role of the donor.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the importance of donor factors and especially the potential role of hemodynamic management in regard to delayed graft function in paired kidney recipient patients after renal transplantation and to analyze the urine of organ donors by proton-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to identify urine markers potentially correlated with delayed graft function in recipient patients.

Methods: A prospective multicenter epidemiologic study was conducted. A logistic regression model taking into account paired data was used.
