KDPI score is a strong predictor of future graft function: Moderate KDPI (35 - 85) and high KDPI ( > 85) grafts yield similar graft function and survival .
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that high KDPI grafts behave more like moderate KDPI grafts (KDPI 35 - 85). Creatinine (Cr) greater than 2.0 mg/dL portends poorer long-term graft survival, and this outcome is similar amongst all recipients of KDPI > 35 allografts.
