Expanded criteria donor kidney transplantation: Maximizing benefit

Modifying allocation rules for ECD kidneys in an effort to match the appropriate kidney to the appropriate recipient

Minimizing risk factors for DGF: Lowering CIT, pulsatile perfusion preservation

Preimplantation renal biopsy for ECD kidney recipients

Simultaneous dual ECD kidney transplantation

Restricting the use of ECD kidneys to patients of low immunological risk

Applying individualized immunosuppressive regimens

ECD: Expanded criteria donor; DGF: Delayed graft function; CIT: Cold ischemia time.
