Background: Due to the loss of autonomic nervous system, precise control of the
hemodynamic status in dead brain potential donors presents a clinical dilemma. In these …

The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of kidney transplants from uncontrolled
DCD (uDCD) with kidney transplants from extended (ECD) and standard criteria donors …

Methods: A systematic literature review was performed, comprising a comprehensive search
of the PubMed database for relevant terms, as well as individual assessment of references …

Objectives: We aimed to analyze the effect of cold ischemia time (CIT) on post-transplant
graft function through mixed-effect model analysis to reduce the bias caused by paired mate …

With the increase of donation after cardiac death (DCD) now including procurements for not
only kidney but also liver, pancreas, and lung transplantations, we analyze whether …

Introduction: Organ recovery facilities address the logistical challenges of hospital-based
deceased organ donor management. While more organs are transplanted from donors in …

Delayed graft function (DGF) has a negative impact on graft survival in donation after brain
death (DBD) but not for donation after cardiac death (DCD) kidneys. However, older donor …

Purpose Expanded criteria donors (ECD) kidneys are a potential solution to organ shortage,
but exhibit more delayed graft function (DGF). We conducted a prospective controlled study …

Worldwide shortage of standard brain dead donors (DBD) has revived the use of kidneys
donated after circulatory death (DCD). We reviewed the Belgian DCD kidney transplant (KT) …

Purpose The aim of this study was to quantify renal microcirculatory perfusion in braindead
donors using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), and to establish an accurate …
