Severe glomerular sclerosis is not associated with poor outcome after kidney transplantation.
Am J Surg. 2000; (6): 470-4
The increased utilization of expanded criteria kidney donors has necessitated the reevaluation of multiple donor risk factors to insure the best outcome from this valuable resource. Reports of decreased graft survival in recipients of kidneys from donors with > or =20% glomerular sclerosis (GS) have led many transplant centers to refuse these donor kidneys. The purpose of this study is to compare outcome in recipients of cadaveric donor kidneys with > or =20% GS versus those with <20% or no GS at our center.
