Predicting future kidney allograft function is challenging. Novel biomarkers, such as urinary Dickkopf-3 (uDKK3), may help guide donor selection and improve allograft outcomes. In this prospective multicenter pilot trial, we investigated whether donor uDKK3 reflects organ quality and is associated with future allograft function. We measured uDKK3/crea ratios (uDKK3/crea) from 95 deceased and 46 living kidney donors. Prenephrectomy uDKK3/crea levels were 100× higher in deceased than in living donors (9888 pg/mg vs 113 pg/mg
  P <

The primary end point of best estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) within the first 3 months after kidney transplantation was superior in group A (56.3 mL/min/1.73 m
