Donor Characteristics, Recipient Outcomes, and Histologic Findings of Kidney Allografts With Diffuse Donor-derived Glomerular Fibrin Thrombi

Conclusions. Deceased donor kidneys with diffuse GFT appear to be safe to use given that nearly 92% of recipients in this cohort who received such allografts experienced good clinical outcomes. Histologically, GFT demonstrated rapid resolution following transplantation. Interestingly, diffuse GFT only occurred in donors who suffered severe head trauma in this cohort, which may be a predisposing factor.
