Assessing donor kidney function: the role of CIRBP in predicting delayed graft function post-transplant by Qianghua Leng, Maolin Ma, Zuofu Tang, Weichen Jiang, Fei Han, Zhengyu Huang

“…Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses (odds ratio [OR]=1.660; P&lt;0.001) confirmed that donor plasma CIRBP level was an independent risk factor for DGF. Additionally, higher CIRBP levels were associated with increased plasma creatinine at 6 months (R²=0.08; P&lt;0.001), and survival analysis showed shorter kidney survival in recipients with DGF (P=0.002).ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that donor plasma CIRBP levels can effectively predict the occurrence of DGF. …”
