Zusammenfassung:Background. Several groups have demonstrated that non-heart beating donation is a viable source of organs for transplantation. However, the theoretically worse graft function and survival of the kidneys obtained from non-heart beating donors (NHBDs) is still a matter of debate that has led to consider them as marginal donors for kidney transplantation. Methods. In this report, we compare the outcome and course of 83 kidney transplants from NHBDs with those corresponding to 3177 adult cadaveric heart beating donor (HBD) transplants performed over the same period in our country. Graft and patient survival were estimated by means of Kaplan–Meier analysis. In addition, groups were compared using Cox proportional regression. Results. The delayed graft function (DGF) rate was higher on NHBD transplants than in HBD kidneys (58.8 vs 28.9%, P
