Background Pre-implant biopsy findings account for the discard of many donor kidneys although their clinical value is not fully understood. We retrospectively investigated the predictive value of pre-implant histology, which in our center was obtained for protocol purposes, not for transplant decisions, on long-term allograft and recipient outcome after single-kidney transplantation.Methods This single-center study included 628 consecutive adult recipients of 174 Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) and 454 Standard Criteria Donor kidneys. Chronic donor organ injury was assessed applying a chronic lesion score differentiating between mild, moderate, and severe histologic organ injury based on the integration of glomerular, vascular, tubular, and interstitial lesions. Recipients were followed over a median time of 7.8 years.Results Donor kidneys exhibiting mild or moderate chronic lesions yielded almost identical graft and recipient survival independent of ECD status or other clinical covariables (HR 1.20, 95% CI 0.83-1.74, P=0.326, and HR 1.27, 95% CI 0.83-1.95, P=0.274, respectively). However, if allograft injury was severe, occurring in 3% of transplanted kidneys, graft and recipient survival was significantly reduced (HR 3.13, 95% CI 1.61-6.07, P
