Delayed graft function (DGF) complicates 21-36% of all deceased donor kidney transplants, and leads to early inpatient post-transplant dialysis, higher risk of graft failure and death. In this abstract, we show that IVIM-derived flow (f)-fraction, is significantly different in kidney allografts exhibiting DGF compared to those that do not develop DGF. Furthermore, f fraction shows a significant negative correlation with time to recovery and a positive trend with renal function at 3 months post-transplant as measured with eGFR.
