BACKGROUND: A recent Organ Procurement and Transplant Network policy change
removes hepatitis C virus (HCV) status and race from the Kidney Donor Profile
Index (KDPI) calculation, thereby lowering the KDPI of HCV nucleic acid testing
positive (NAT(+)) kidneys and increasing their allocation priority. However, even
in the era of direct-acting antivirals, high KDPI HCV NAT(+) kidneys exhibited
higher discard rates compared with their HCV NAT(-) counterparts, and outcome
data for this "high-risk" group remain limited. This study aims to address this
knowledge gap by providing comprehensive outcome data to better inform organ
allocation and selection decisions under the new KDPI framework. METHODS: Using
national transplant data from 2015 to 2023, we analyzed adult deceased donor
kidney transplants stratified by KDPI and HCV NAT status. An exact matching model
was used to identify the matched HCV NAT(-) group. RESULTS: No significant
differences were observed in delayed graft function, rejection, or patient and
graft survival between high KDPI HCV NAT(+) and matched HCV NAT(-) recipients.
High KDPI HCV NAT(+) kidneys were more often allocated regionally or nationally,
with 67.6% occurring in 4 regions. Their recipients were more likely to have a
high school education and shorter wait times. After the policy change, >90% of
prior high KDPI HCV NAT(+) kidneys will no longer be classified as high KDPI.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings support the safe utilization of previously high KDPI
HCV NAT(+) kidneys after a policy change. Although the revised KDPI may assist
clinicians in identifying higher-quality organs, its impact on existing
sociodemographic disparities and overall organ utilization rate remains
uncertain.
