Kidney transplantation faces organ shortages, driving the use of expanded criteria donor kidneys. This review details their definition, strategies, and outcomes to improve organ utilization.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation immunology
  • Organ donation

Background:

  • Kidney transplantation is a vital treatment for end-stage renal disease.
  • Organ scarcity limits transplantation, with demand exceeding supply.
  • Higher-risk donors are increasingly considered to meet demand.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and definition of expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidneys.
  • To outline current strategies for utilizing ECD kidneys.
  • To assess the outcomes associated with ECD kidney transplantation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical development and objective parameters for defining ECD kidneys.
  • Analysis of current transplant strategies involving ECD organs.
  • Evaluation of clinical outcomes and graft survival rates.

Main Results:

  • ECD kidney definition aims to expand the donor pool.
  • Objective parameters guide the identification of suitable ECD kidneys.
  • Strategies are evolving to optimize the use of ECD organs.

Conclusions:

  • Efficient organ utilization is critical due to transplant demand.
  • ECD kidneys represent a strategy to increase organ availability.
  • Further research and optimized strategies are needed for ECD kidney transplantation.
