Method: Recipients of renal transplants from deceased donors between 2002 and 2014 were identified from a prospectively maintained database. Outcomes were compared between DCD (468) and DBD (905) donors and between standard criteria donors (SCDs) and extended criteria donors (ECDs). Results: Graft survival (GS) and patient survival (PS) from DCD and DBD donors were comparable up to 10 years (GS: 61 versus 55%, P = 0.780; PS: 78 versus 71%, P = 0.285, respectively). Graft function was comparable after 3 months. GS and function were worse in the ECD groups, with no difference between EC-DBD and EC-DCD. PS in the ECD groups was worse than the SCD groups and PS in the EC-DCD group was worse than in the EC-DBD group. DCD donors were an independent risk factor for delayed graft function. Post-operative complications and EC-DCD donation were independent risk factors for reduced GS and PS. Conclusion: This study supports the use of DCD renal grafts with comparable long-term survival and function to DBD grafts. The use of EC-DCD grafts is justified in selected recipients and provides acceptable function and survival advantages over dialysis.
