Are kidneys from deceased donors who underwent dialysis prior to kidney donation associated with adverse graft outcomes in kidney transplant recipients compared with kidneys from deceased donors who did not undergo dialysis? Compared with recipients of kidneys from deceased donors who did not undergo dialysis, receiving kidneys from deceased donors who underwent dialysis prior to donation was associated with a higher incidence of delayed graft function, but no difference in graft failure or death at longer-term follow-up.
