The Deceased Donor Kidney Allocation System

123,208 organ tx candidates are on the waiting list

101,603 are waiting for a kidney tx

As of February 15…

Waiting time calculation

• Pre-registration dialysis time added

Candidate classification

• Estimated Post Transplant Survival Score (EPTS)

Kidney donor classification

• Replace SCD/ECD with Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI)

Overall Changes to Allocation System

Waiting Time Points Priority

*Peds begin accruing waiting time at listing regardless of clinical factors

Waiting Time QualifiersDialysis• Determined by listing center• Waittime may start prior to listing• Multiple centers may have equal waittime points• Acceptable methods of documentation

• 2728, dialysis center letter, physician note

GFR/Cr Clearance• Determined by listing center• Waittime can only start at or after candidate is listed• Only one center can have longest waittime points• Acceptable methods of documentation

• Laboratory

EPTS Match Classification Priority

EPTS score used to identify two groups of patients*

Those with scores of 0-20%

Those with scores of 21-100%

*The top 20% EPTS is calculated based on a national pool of candidates from a certain time period.

Kidney Donor Profile Index

KDPI based on:

Donor age

Height

Weight

Ethnicity

History of hypertension

History of diabetes

Cause of death

Serum creatinine

Hepatitis C virus status

Donation after circulatory death

• KDPI scores range from 0-100%• Lower KDPI is associated with better

longevity
