E N D
Kidney Transplantation Committee Spring 2014
Allocation component changes • Waiting time calculation - pre-registration dialysis time added • Candidate classification - Estimated Post Transplant Survival (EPTS) score • Kidney donor classification - replace SCD/ECD with Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) • Priority for sensitized candidates - calculated panel reactive antibody (CPRA) sliding scale
Allocation component changes • Blood type eligibility - A2 and A2B to B compatible • Pediatric kidney allocation – KDPI priority • Kidney payback policy – eliminated • Kidney variances – eliminated
Importance of early referral Communicate with referring physicians: • Pre-emptive listing is still advantageous • Candidates can accrue time with GFR<=20ml/ml • Priority for 0-ABDR mismatch offers
Estimated Post Transplant Survival • EPTS data variables • Age • Prior transplant • Diabetes status • Time on dialysis • EPTS score range is 0 - 100%
Action: Assess for living donors • Prior living donors get 4 points
Acceptance criteria • Other independent acceptance criteria may conflict with KDPI • Examples: • candidate opts out of DCD but selects KDPI max of 60% = will not see any DCD offers, even from KDPI 50% or less donors • candidate selects max donor age of 55 and KDPI of 60% = will not see offers from 56 y/o donor with KDPI 36%
