Causes of KDR per donor age decades

KDR and KDR causes 50–59 yr (n=188), % 60–69 yr (n=587), % 70–79 yr (n=604), % ≥80 yr (n=110), % Total (n=1489), % P Value
Organ recovered and transplanted 84.6 81.8 78.1 51.8 79.4 <0.001
Organ recovered but not transplanted (KDR) 15.4 18.2 21.9 48.2 20.6 <0.001
KDR causes
 Suspected donor neoplasia or other comorbidities 0 2.7 2.6 1.8 2.3 0.15
 Organ macroscopic appearance or anatomic anomalies 4.8 7.2 10.3 20 9.1 <0.001
 Preimplantation kidney biopsy 3.7 5.1 4.6 11.8 5.2 <0.001
 Technical problems 4.3 0.9 2.3 3.6 2.1 <0.001
 No available recipients 2.1 1.8 2.1 10.9 2.6 <0.001
 Others 0.5 0.5 0 0 0.3

Percentages are calculated on the total amount of organ recovered. Preimplantation biopsy indicates Karpinsky score ≥7. Technical problem indicates prolonged cold ischemia time, procurement iatrogenic lesions, etc. Donor other comorbidities indicates hepatitis C serology positive, bacteremia, etc. KDR, kidney discard rate.
