Deceased kidney donor cystatin C and subsequent recipient measured glomerular filtration rate at one year after transplantation

Puntos clave

• This research aims to evaluate the relationship between donor cystatin C levels and recipient glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) outcomes after kidney transplantation.
• Analyzed plasma cystatin C and creatinine levels from deceased kidney donors.
• Measured recipient mGFR one year post-transplantation.
• Compared associations between these biomarkers and transplant outcomes.
• Donor cystatin C levels were positively associated with recipient mGFR.
• Donor plasma creatinine did not correlate significantly with recipient mGFR.
• Inclusion of cystatin C improved donor selection accuracy.
