Factors that determine better outcomes in living-donor transplant.

	Living Donor	Deceased Donor
Glomerular filtration rate	Usually, normal	Often subnormal
	(>80 mL/min/1.73 m2)	(>50 mL/min/1.73 m2)
Hemodynamic status	Normal	Unstable
		Severe hypotension
Pre-transplant kidney ischemia	Absent	Severe
Cold ischemia time	Very short	Often prolonged
Ischemia–reperfusion injury	Mild	Severe
Innate immunity activation	Mild	Strong
