Key Points

This research examines how the age of kidney transplant recipients affects their outcomes after receiving a deceased donor kidney.
Analyzed outcomes from kidney transplant recipients over 70 years of age compared to younger recipients.
Evaluated rates of ultra-early graft function, delayed graft function, and acute rejection.
Conducted the study at a single-center facility.
Recipients over 70 years have a higher risk of ultra-early graft function (UCGF), delayed graft function (DCGF), and delayed wound healing (DWFG).
Older recipients exhibit a lower risk of acute rejection (AR) compared to younger counterparts.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.

A cohort analysis finds older kidney transplant recipients face higher risks of graft issues but lower rejection rates.

DDKT recipients over the age of 70 are at a higher risk of UCGF, DCGF, and DWFG but have a lower risk of AR than their younger counterparts.
