Differential Outcomes of Expanded-Criteria Donor Renal Allografts According to Recipient Age

[摘要] Background and objectives Expanded-criteria donor (ECD) kidneys are used to expand the number of deceased-donor kidney transplants, often for elderly recipients. This study sought to determine whether older recipients had significantly worse outcomes from receiving ECD kidneys and whether outcomes of ECD versus standard-criteria donor (SCD) kidneys differed in younger recipients.
