Delayed graft function is a common early posttransplant event predictive of adverse outcomes including hospital readmission, impaired long-term graft function, and decreased graft and patient survival...
Recent research efforts have been garnered towards risk factor modification, prevention, and earlier detection of delayed graft function. In this review, we aim to summarize current innovative approac...
Delayed graft function portends worse graft and patient outcomes. Continued research to prevent, and detect early perturbations in allograft function, and more optimally manage this disease will hopef...
Delayed graft function (DGF) is an important prognostic indicator after kidney transplantation. Depending on the severity of the ischemia-reperfusion injury, DGF can have several clinical presentation...
To investigate the impact of DGF and its duration on patient and graft survivals, a single-center retrospective study including all deceased donor kidney transplants was performed between November 200...
The overall incidence of DGF was 62.2%. Higher HLA mismatches was an independent risk factor for prolonged DGF. DGF ≥8 days was associated with acute rejection and this one was associated with patient...
DGF with a duration of more than 8 days associated with higher HLA mismatches increases the risk of acute rejection, but graft loss and patient survival are not affected by DGF, regardless of its dura...
Donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys are exposed to warm ischemia, which, coupled with cold ischemia time (CIT) exacerbates delayed graft function (DGF) and is possibly associated with worse...
Pediatric recipients of living donor kidneys have a low rate of delayed graft function (DGF). We examined the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of DGF in pediatric patients who received a living do...
The STARfile was queried to examine all pediatric patients transplanted with a living donor kidney between 2000 and 2020. Donor and recipient demographic data were examined, as were survival and outco...
6480 pediatric patients received a living donor (LD) kidney transplant during the study period. 269 (4.2%) developed DGF post-transplant. Donors were similar in age, creatinine, and cold ischemia time...
Pediatric living donor kidney transplant recipients who experience DGF have significantly poorer allograft survival. Optimizing the donor and recipient matching to avoid compounding risks may allow fo...
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a serious complication associated with worsening outcomes in kidney transplantation. To facilitate DGF risk reduction, this study aimed to identify the incidence and mo...
This retrospective chart review included 220 patients who underwent kidney transplants between 2012 and 2021 at our kidney transplant center. Delayed graft function was defined as the requirement of h...
Of 205 eligible patients, 20 (9.76%) developed DGF. In the univariate analysis, high hemoglobin level, deceased-donor type, and longer warm and cold ischemic times were significantly associated with D...
Our findings newly demonstrated that DGF occurred more frequently in patients with hemoglobin level >11.35 g/dL. As such, improvement in kidney transplantation outcomes could be achieved by reducing t...
Intraoperative hemodynamic instability was proven to be associated with delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation. This retrospective study aims to find the specific intraoperative hem...
Patients who underwent kidney transplantation between 2020 and 2022 were enrolled and classified into DGF and non-DGF groups. Pediatric and multiorgan recipients were excluded. Hemodynamic parameters ...
We enrolled 42 recipients, with 26 in the DGF group and 16 in the non-DGF group. Compared with the DGF group, CI around graft reperfusion was significantly higher in the non-DGF group (3.97 vs 4.67 L/...
The cardiac index value around graft reperfusion was statistically associated with the incidence of DGF and might be used as a valid predicting factor....
Delayed graft function (DGF) is a frequently observed complication following kidney transplantation (KT). Our prior research revealed dynamic shifts in salivary microbiota post-KT with immediate graft...
In kidney transplantation, delayed graft function (DGF) is associated with increased morbidity and a higher risk of graft failure. Prior research suggests that chronic hypotension increases DGF risk, ...
In this single center study of adult deceased donor kidney transplant recipients transplanted between 2015 and 2019, we evaluated the question of whether preoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) affe...
Among 562 deceased donor kidney recipients, DGF risk decreased as preoperative MAP increased, with a 2% lower risk per 1 mm Hg increase in MAP. This increased risk was similar, with no statistically s...
In deceased donor kidney transplantation, each 1 mm Hg increase in preoperative MAP was associated with 2% lower DGF risk. Preoperative MAP was influenced by recipient BMI and dialysis duration, and l...
Delayed graft function (DGF) is one of the most common postoperative complications after kidney transplantation. The ability to predict DGF after transplantation can greatly aid clinical decision-maki...
Our center is in compliance with national laws, the Declaration of Istanbul, and the Helsinki Congress. The donors used by us were organs donated after the death of citizens and the participants were ...
DGF was observed in 45 of 68 patients (66.17%) in the training group and 9 of 16 patients (56.25%) in the validation group. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that kidney donor profile index, cold ...
We have constructed a novel, reliable, and accurate visual nomogram that provides a practical tool for predicting DGF in adult recipients of pediatric donor kidneys....
Obesity is increasingly prevalent among candidates for kidney transplantation. Existing studies have shown conflicting post-transplant outcomes for obese patients which may relate to confounding bias ...
