Abstract

In renal transplant medicine, several scores have been recently developed in order to help decision-making in clinical practice. The aim of this update is to focus on these new scores that allow to better estimate the quality of the renal transplant, to refine the allocation policy, to help registration of old recipients on the waiting list, or to evaluate the risk to develop end-stage renal failure after living donation.

Keywords: Deceased donor; Donneur décédé; Donneur vivant; End-stage renal failure; Insuffisance rénale terminale; Living donor; Renal transplantation; Scores; Transplantation rénale.
