Core Tip	Pre-implantation biopsy of grafts from elderly donors is under appraisal as a means to direct the acceptance/discard decision of organs for transplanta­tion and the best allocation to single rather than dual transplant. Presented data shows that in recipients of grafts from older donors, rated suitable to donate according to clinical data and preserved renal function, graft and patient survival did not differ in the two ca­tegories of transplants with graft histological score in the lower (1-4) or higher (5-8) range of a scale in use. Additionally, allocation of higher score grafts to single or dual transplant did not result in different survival in time, but observed total number of dialysis free life years in recipients up to 6 years was lower for the dual kidney transplant (DKT) allocation. We suggest that older donors rated suitable to donation by clinical decision and preserved renal function may be allocated to single kidney transplant without biopsy; if biopsy is performed, higher scores than those in actual use should be consi­dered for allocation to DKT.
