Figure 3. Estimation of the Allograft Life-Years Gained From Reducing Kidney Discard Rates in the United States Through a Redesigned System.

Figure 3.

KDRI Indicates Kidney Donor Risk Index. The greatest gain in life-years is achieved through reduced discard of the lowest-quality kidneys. A, The life-years saved by decile of the Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI) by applying French acceptance-based patterns to the pool of US kidneys. B, The life-years saved overall if organ acceptance patterns in the United States had followed the French acceptance model.
