Negative values (highlighted in bold) for years younger, kg heaver, mL larger in kidney volume, fewer HLA mismatches, and points lower LKDPI signify that the matched donor was actually older, lighter, smaller volume kidney, less matched, or had a higher (worse) LKDPI than the intended donor, respectively.
