Serum creatinine is more suitable than urine output for defining AKI in donors with brain death. There are distinct clinical risk factors for each AKI-ICU phenotype. Donor AKI phenotype does not predict the recipient´s prognosis. Kidney biopsies do not seem to confer any tangible benefit in defining AKI in donors with brain death.
