Differential impact of delayed graft function in deceased donor renal transplant recipients with and without donor-specific HLA-antibodies

Background.Delayed graft function (DGF) and pretransplant donor-specific HLA-antibodies (DSA) are both regarded as risk factors for rejection and lower graft survival. However, the combined impact of DGF and DSA has not been studied in detail.Methods.We investigated 375 deceased donor kidney transpl
