also identified 7 slightly different risk factors for graft loss [47] (Table 1). These could also be used to calculate a donor risk index. In the UK setting, the UK donor risk score outperformed the US donor risk score [47]. However, both scores need to be externally validated in ...
As the organ shortage increases, inherently the demand for donor kidneys continues to rise. Thus, live kidney donation is essential for increasing the donor pool. In order to create successful expansion, extended criteria live kidney donors should be considered. This review combines current guidelines...
