Renal transplants from older deceased donors: Is pre-implantation biopsy useful? A monocentric observational clinical study

Figure 1 Kaplan Meier plots of graft (death-censored) (A), overall (including death as cause of graft loss) (B) and patient survival (C) according to transplant category. SKT_(1-4): SKT with score 1 to 4 grafts; SKT_(>4): SKT with score 5 or higher grafts; DKT: Dual kidney transplants with score 4 to 7 grafts. Follow up was censored at 6 years for DKT and 10 years for SKT. There were no statistically significant differences in survival for any of the 3 outcomes. SKT: Single kidney transplant; DKT: Dual kidney transplants.

Figure 2 Kaplan Meier plots of graft (death-censored) (A), overall (including death as cause of graft loss) (B) and patient survival (C) in recipients of older than 70-year donors, according to transplant category. SKT: Solitary kidney transplant with any graft score; DKT: Dual kidney transplants with score 4 to 7 grafts. Follow up was censored at 6 years for both SKT and DKT. There were no statistically significant differences in survival for any of the 3 outcomes.
