Discard rates average 15-20%, however, over-caution may be preventing thousands of dialysis-dependent patients from returning to a normal life and condemning hundreds more to death each year. Pre-transplantation biopsies, where performed, can provide additional reassurance over organ condition and likely final function, particularly from high risk donors. But biopsy is not without its own controversy, and decisions regarding single or dual transplant remain difficult.
