Kidney transplant (KT) outcomes from high kidney donor profile index (KDPI ≥85%) donors with acute kidney injury (AKI) remain underreported. KT from 172 high KDPI Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) stage 0-1 donors and 76 high KDPI AKIN stage 2-3 donors from a single center were retrospectively assessed. The AKIN 2-3 cohort had more delayed graft function (71% vs. 37%, p < .001). At one year, there were no differences in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (44 ± 17 vs. 46 ± 18, p = .42) or fibrosis on protocol biopsy (ci, p = .85). Donor terminal creatinine (p = .59) and length of delayed graft function (p = .39) did not impact one-year eGFR. There were more primary nonfunction (PNF) events in the high KDPI AKIN 2-3 group (5.3% vs. 0.6%, p = .02). With a median follow-up of 3.8 years, one-year death-censored graft failure was 3.5% for AKIN 0-1 and 14.5% for AKIN 2-3 (HR 2.40, 95% CI 1.24-4.63, p = .01). Although AKIN stage 2-3 high KDPI kidneys had comparable one-year eGFR to AKIN stage 0-1 high KDPI kidneys, there were more PNF occurrences and one-year death-censored graft survival was reduced. Given these findings, additional precautions should be undertaken when assessing and utilizing kidneys from severe AKI high KDPI donors.

Tailoring Kidney Transplant Strategies: Unraveling the Impact of Acute Kidney Injury and Preservation Methods Across Different Strata of Kidney Risk.
Clin Transplant
January 2025
Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.
Background: The use of donor kidneys with acute kidney injury (AKI) aims to expand the organ pool, but uncertainty remains regarding their outcomes across different Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) groups and preservation methods.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 108 160 deceased donor kidney transplants from the OPTN database, focusing on adult recipients of kidneys from donors with or without AKI between December 2014 and December 2022. Propensity matching was used for each KDPI group (1-20, 21-59, 60-84, and 85-100), comparing donors with AKIN stages 0-1 to AKIN stages 2-3.
Outcomes Using High KDPI Kidneys in Recipients Over 65 y of Age.

Division of Transplant Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of California Davis, Sacramento, CA.
Background: Kidney transplantation has been shown to improve life expectancy when compared with remaining on dialysis. However, there is an ever-expanding shortage of available organs for transplantation. The use of high kidney donor profile index (KDPI; >85) kidneys is 1 strategy to address this shortage.

Article Synopsis
- High-resolution typing of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) may enhance kidney transplantation by enabling selection of less immunogenic donors within a new 250-nautical mile allocation system.
- A study matched 501 transplant candidates from the University of Toledo Medical Center with 4812 donors, achieving a 99.8% success rate in finding optimal matches, which significantly improved HLA immunogenicity scores compared to a historical cohort.
- The results indicated that simulated transplants could lead to an increase in median graft survival from 13.4 years to 18.2 years, highlighting the benefits of the new donor matching approach for long-term patient outcomes.
Reexamining Transplant Outcomes in Acute Kidney Injury Kidneys Through Machine Learning.
Clin Transplant

Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Department of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Despite many people awaiting kidney transplant, kidney allografts from acute kidney injury (AKI) donors continue to be underutilized. We aimed to cluster kidney transplant recipients of AKI kidney allografts using an unsupervised machine learning (ML) approach.
Methods: Using Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network-United Network for Organ Sharing (OPTN/UNOS) data, a consensus clustering cohort analysis was performed in 12 356 deceased donor kidney transplant recipients between 2015 and 2019 in whom donors had a terminal serum creatinine ≥1.
Impact of Warm Ischemia Time on Donation After Circulatory Death Kidney Transplant Outcomes.

Division of Transplantation & Hepatobiliary Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of California San Diego Health, La Jolla, California, USA.
Background: Efforts to address the shortage of donor organs include increasing the use of renal allografts from donors after circulatory death (DCD). While warm ischemia time (WIT) is thought to be an important factor in DCD kidney evaluation, few studies have compared the relationship between WIT and DCD kidney outcomes, and WIT acceptance practices remain variable.
Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective review of all adult patients who underwent deceased donor kidney transplantation from 2000 to 2021.
