- Delayed graft function (DGF)
Definitions
- DGF lacks standardized definition
- Most common: Need for dialysis in 1st week after transplantation
- Or failure of serum creatinine to halve within 1st week after transplantation
- Or failure of serum creatinine to decrease by 10% on 3 consecutive days within 1st week after transplantation
- Most common: Need for dialysis in 1st week after transplantation
