Description

Background:

Dual kidney transplantation (DKT) of expanded criteria donors is a cost intensive procedure to help increase the pool of available deceased organ donors. In studies to day, expanded criteria single kidney (eSKT) or dual kidney transplantation (DKT) have demonstrated equivalence, but a more rigorous allocation system is needed to optimize limited resources for improved operative outcomes.
