KDRI (Kidney Donor Risk Index)
1
How to Use This Calculator
- Enter donor age (years), terminal serum creatinine (mg/dL), height (cm), and weight (kg).
- Indicate donor comorbidities: hypertension and diabetes (0 = no, 1 = yes).
- Enter recipient age (years).
- Read the Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI): higher values indicate higher donor risk (median = 1.0).
- Review KDPI (%) and estimated 5-year graft survival (%) to inform acceptance decisions.
How the result changes with Donor Age (years)
| Donor Age (years) | KDRI (Kidney Donor Risk Index) |
|---|---|
| 9.9 | 0.8 |
| 32 | 0.9 |
| 59 | 1.4 |
| 81 | 2.36 |
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.
