description

  • Delayed graft function (DGF) is a manifestation of acute kidney injury uniquely framed within the transplant process and a predictor of poor long-term graft function1. It is less common in the setting of living donor (LD) kidney transplantation. However, the detrimental impact of DGF on graft survival is more pronounced in LD2.
