Abstract
Aim: The aim was to study the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) in living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT), its risk factors, and its impact on graft and patient survivals. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 543 patients over 12 years of age who had received kidney transplant from a living donor between 2007 and 2018. The demographic characteristics of the patients, acute rejection rates, graft function at 1 year, graft survival, and patient survival were compared between patients with and without DGF. Results: The incidence of DGF was 10.1% in our study. Cold ischemia time (CIT) (76.61 ± 33.66 vs. 53.02 ± 17.55 min; P
