Background. The shortage of organs has led to expanding the criteria for donors. Histologic evaluations before transplantation may enable the identification of organs unsuitable for single implantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the histologic findings as prognostic factors of allograft survival from expanded criteria donors (ECDs).Methods. We included a cohort of 136 single transplantations with kidneys from ECD and correlated the preimplantation pathologic findings with graft failure. Renal structures from ECD older (n = 104) or younger (n = 32) than 60 years were evaluated histologically for renal senescence and rated with a total histologic score. A multivariate Cox analysis was performed to identify predictors of graft failure.Results. Glomerulosclerosis was the most prevalent lesion in biopsies from donors older and younger than 60 years (P = 0.002); interstitial fibrosis was more severe in biopsies from older donors (P = 0.001); older donors showed a higher prevalence of tubular atrophy (P = 0.022), and vascular compartment showed no significant differences. Kidney biopsy-based scoring system ranged from 0 to 15 points, indicating the presence of changes in the renal parenchyma. Biopsies with total histologic scores less than or equal to 5 showed significantly better 5-year graft survival than those with scores more than 5 (P
