KDPI (%)50%
Est. 5-Year Graft Survival84.5%
Age Match Score70/100
Age Difference10 years
How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter donor age (years), terminal serum creatinine (mg/dL), height (cm), and weight (kg).
  2. Indicate donor comorbidities: hypertension and diabetes (0 = no, 1 = yes).
  3. Enter recipient age (years).
  4. Read the Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI): higher values indicate higher donor risk (median = 1.0).
  5. Review KDPI (%) and estimated 5-year graft survival (%) to inform acceptance decisions.

What each input means

Donor Age (years)
Deceased donor age.
Donor Creatinine (mg/dL)
Terminal serum creatinine of donor.
Donor Height (cm)
Donor height in centimeters.
Donor Weight (kg)
Donor weight in kilograms.
Donor Hypertension (0=No, 1=Yes)
History of hypertension in donor.
Donor Diabetes (0=No, 1=Yes)
History of diabetes in donor.
Recipient Age (years)
Age of the transplant recipient.

What each result means

KDRI (Kidney Donor Risk Index)
Higher values indicate higher risk. Median = 1.0.
KDPI (%)
Kidney Donor Profile Index: percentage of donors with equal or lower risk.
Est. 5-Year Graft Survival
Approximate 5-year allograft survival based on KDPI.
Age Match Score
Donor-recipient age compatibility (closer ages = higher score).
Age Difference
Absolute age difference between donor and recipient.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Donor Age (years) = 40, Donor Creatinine (mg/dL) = 1, Donor Height (cm) = 170, Donor Weight (kg) = 80 = 7 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate KDRI
    1 = 1
  3. Calculate KDPI
    50 = 50
  4. Calculate Est. 5-Year Graft Survival
    Est. 5-Year Graft Survival
    84.5 = 84.5
