Abstract

Transplantation of African American (AA) compared to non-AA donor kidneys is generally associated with inferior outcomes. It is unclear whether enhanced genetic risk associated with AA donor kidneys would be counterbalanced by favorable immunologic matching when AA donor kidneys are transplanted into AA recipients. We aimed to compare the outcomes of AA vs non-AA deceased-donor kidneys (DDKs) stratified by kidney donor profile index (KDPI) that were transplanted into AA recipients.
