National cohort study shows similar graft survival in transplants from Stage 3 AKI donors, highlighting important implications.
Among transplanted kidneys, Stage 3 AKI requiring donor dialysis was associated with higher early DGF but similar adjusted graft survival compared with Stage 2 AKI after accounting for organ quality and recipient risk. These findings reflect outcomes among AKI-affected kidneys accepted for transplantation and should not be generalized to declined or discarded kidneys.
