Donor Proteinuria and Allograft Function in Kidney Transplantation: Short- and Long-Term Results From a Retrospective Cohort Study.

Donor proteinuria (DP) is a common but rarely evaluated aspect of today's kidney transplant allocation process. While proteinuria after kidney transplantation is a risk factor for impaired graft function and survival, the long-term effects of DP in kidney transplantation have not yet been evaluated. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of DP on the long-term outcome after kidney transplantation. A total of 587 patients were found to be eligible and were stratified into two groups: (1) those receiving a graft from a donor without proteinuria (DP-) and (2) those receiving a graft from a donor with proteinuria (DP+). At 36 months, there was no difference in the primary composite endpoint including graft loss and patient survival (log-rank test,
