A method for predicting delayed graft function in kidney transplantation

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of predicting delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation in patient, said method comprising a step of calculating a score (DGFS) based on the following variables: induction therapy, Cold ischemia time (CIT), donor creatinin levels, donor age, and patient BMI. Methods for assessing the need for a DGF therapy after kidney transplantation are disclosed. A processing system including a computation unit and an input interface, characterized in that said system includes means for implementing the method for determining the risk of DGF is also provided.
