In the group with KDPI &lt;35% it was observed in 35.3%, while in the groups with KDPI 36 - 69% and KDPI >70% in 60.5% and 64.7% of patients, p = 0.02. Graft function differed significantly both, after one (p =0.01) and three years (p=0.04) with the highest eGFR results in the group with the lowest KDPI. The difference in graft survival rates was statistically significant, p = 0.027. After three- years it was 88.2% in the first group, 86.8% in the second group and 70.6% in the third group. Patient survival rates showed trend toward significance (p = 0.076) with only two patients lost during three- year follow up. Conclusions. KDPI presents relevance with repeated transplantation outcomes. Lower KDPI indicates better transplantation outcomes - superior graft function and better graft survival.
