American Society of Nephrology (ASN)• Simulation models predict that a newly approved kidney allocation policy will lead to an average 7.0% increase in median patient life-years per transplant and an average 2.8% increase in median allograft years of life. • The policy may also improve access to transplantation for highly sensitized candidates but reduce access for older patients.
