Tubular Cell Dropout in Preimplantation Deceased Donor Biopsies as a Predictor of Delayed Graft Function

Background. Delayed graft function (DGF) affects over 25% of deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKTs) and is associated with increased cost, worsened graft outcomes, and mortality. While approaches to preventing DGF have focused on minimizing cold ischemia, donor factors such as acute tubular injur...
