Influence of Donor Age on Graft and Patient Outcomes in Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Key takeaways

This study pooled earlier research to ask whether an older kidney donor means a worse result for the person who gets the kidney. The authors followed standard review rules (PRISMA 2020) and searched 4 major medical databases. It looked at how long the new kidney keeps working and how long patients live. The excerpt we have does not give the size of the effect, so read the full paper before drawing conclusions about older donor kidneys.
