We examined long-term outcomes of kidney transplant recipients from donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD) versus donation after neurological determination of death (DNDD) donors. Although DCDD kidneys carry a higher risk of delayed graft function (GF), long-term outcomes appear equivalent, but contemporary data on GF, particularly estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), remain limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant (ANZDATA) Registry, we included adult kidney-only transplant recipients from 2010 to 2023. Cox proportional hazards models assessed death-censored graft survival and patient survival (PS), linear mixed models evaluated GF (eGFR), and logistic regression examined acute rejection within 12 mo.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 10 144 recipients (DNDD n = 7406, DCDD n = 2738), death-censored graft survival did not differ between groups (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] DCDD versus DNDD [aHR, 1.08; 95% confidence intervals (CI), 0.94-1.24;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.27]).

DCDD recipients demonstrated a steeper early increase in eGFR with comparable long-term GF.
