Figure 3. Survival benefit of transplanting SCD kidneys with KDPI>85.
The cumulative incidence of death among the SCD/high-KDPI recipients compared to those who remained on waitlist was higher immediately after transplant. However, the relative cumulative incidence decreased over time, reaching a “break-even point” at 1.20 years after transplant.
