Article Synopsis
- The study examined kidney transplant outcomes from donors aged 65 and older to evaluate the impact of surgeon assessments of donor arteriosclerosis on allograft function.
- Results indicated that while macroscopic donor arteriosclerosis affected kidney function at various time points post-transplant, it did not influence graft survival or mortality rates.
- The findings highlight the need for larger studies and standardized evaluation methods to better understand the role of surgeon evaluations in kidney transplants.
