%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Kidney transplant recipients expect to survive the procedure with sufficient renal function for reliable dialysis freedom.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Transplant outcomes (survival and estimated renal function) were assessed after live and deceased donor transplantation from the US national database. Outcomes were stratified by age (donor and recipient) and donor type.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Aggregate recipient outcomes were better transplanting living vs deceased donated kidneys. However, when stratified by the one-year renal function (within KDIGO CKD stage stratifications), surviving recipients had clinically similar dialysis-freedom, irrespective of donor type or age. The major outcome differences for recipients of age-stratified live and deceased kidneys was 1) the increasing frequency of one-year graft failures and 2) the increasing likelihood of severely limited renal function (CKD 4/5) with advancing donor age. Over 30% of recipients of deceased kidneys >65 years had either one-year graft failure or severely limited renal function contrasted to less than 15% of recipients of live kidneys aged >65 years.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Evolving techniques to reduce adverse events after urgent vs elective procedures, plus improved transplant outcome predictability with increased-age deceased donor kidneys using advanced predictive analytics (using age-stratified live kidney transplantation outcomes as a relevant reference point) should facilitate similar kidney transplant outcomes, irrespective of donor type.
