| Core Tip |
We evaluated outcomes in 59 kidney transplants (KT) from young pediatric donors ≤ 5 years of age including 34 dual en bloc (EB) and 25 single KTs. Mean donor age and weight were significantly lower in the dual EB compared to the single KT group. Actuarial graft and patient survival rates at 5-years follow-up were comparable as were other outcomes. With appropriate recipient selection, excellent mid-term results can be attained by transplanting kidneys from small pediatric donors into adult recipients, which effectively expands the limited donor pool. Kidney donor profile index is predictive of survival for single KT but is not accurate for predicting dual EB KT outcomes from young pediatric donors.
