Recipients receiving level 3 acute kidney injury kidneys, selected with Remuzzi histopathological score and acute tubular necrosis assessment, had a greater incidence of DGF but a similar long-term cumulative rejection compared to no injury and level 1 and level 2 acute kidney injury donors. The application of the histopathological examination allowed expansion of the kidney donor pool.
