Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Delayed graft function (DGF) shortens the survival time of transplanted kidneys and increases the risk of rejection. Current methods are inadequate in predicting DGF. More precise tools are required to assess kidney suitability for transplantation. Cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP) expression has been linked to acute kidney injury, suggesting its potential as a new biomarker for transplanted kidney function.
